Huaca Huallamarca

When the Inca reached the coast in the 15th Century they found that the Lima valley was populated by various tribes, probably of Serrano origin. One of these was named the “Hualla”. The Huallas used this place to bury their dead. The evidence in the tombs of Huaca Huallamarca reveals a lapse in time that starts from the 7th Century to the advent of the Inca in the 15th Century. In the 4th Century this ceremonial center was abandoned, probably because that’s when the construction of the Huaca Pucllana started in the Lima suburb of Miraflores.
