There are hundreds of crumbling walls, rooms, doorways, enough to keep you occupied for quite some time. Located 10km east of Lima, just off Carretera Central. It is about 5 km north from el Parque Zoológico de Huachipa. If travelling by bus take the Luringancho bus or the Ate Vitarta and then change buses. Tours can be organised from Ate Vitarte Free.
