These ruins date back to the Wanka civilization, which predated the Incas and occupied the Mantaro valley.
This city comprised some 4,300 chullpas, small circular buildings organized in groups around central courtyards and protected by walls. It was divided into two districts separated by a central avenue, and boasted a complex hydraulic system capable of providing drinking water for the entire population, estimated at 20,000. It was populated between the thirteenth and sixteenth centuries AD. Automatically translated

Interesting fact

The 1 Nuevo Sol (Tunanmarca) 2013 coin from Peru features the image of a Vicuña, which is a South American camelid that is native to the Andean region. The Vicuña is known for its soft and valuable wool, and it is considered a symbol of Peruvian culture and heritage. The coin's design was created by the Peruvian artist, José Luis Paredes, and it was issued to commemorate the 200th anniversary of the Battle of Ayacucho, which took place on December 9, 1824, and marked the end of Spanish rule in Peru.
