Pachacamac was the main sanctuary of the central coast for more than a thousand years. Its temples were visited by crowds of pilgrims, as Pachacamac was an accurate oracle capable of predicting the future and controlling the movements of the earth.
People from all over the Andes also came to the sanctuary of Pachacamac in search of solutions to their problems or answers to their doubts.
The word Pachacamac means “soul of the earth, the one who animates the world.” Ancient Peruvians believed that a single movement of his head could cause earthquakes. He could not be looked at directly in the eyes, and even his priests entered the enclosure walking backwards. The worship of Pachacamac was the center of all coastal religion.
