Wiracochapampa

An archaeological complex linked to the Huamachuco culture, consisting of various architectural structures that form an octagonal plane. Enclosures, plazas and galleries have been conserved inside the complex. They are built from stonemasonry and red clay mortar with walls up to 5 meters high, still in their original state. The tops of the walls project outwards, presumably to support the roof. From its layout the site appears to have been an administrative center.
