Huaca Palacio Inca de Oquendo

The Huaca Palacio Inca de Oquendo features substantial adobe structures with walls reaching heights of over nine meters, demonstrating advanced engineering methods.

The site was initially constructed by the Colli people before being modified and expanded by the Inca Empire during the Late Horizon period from 1440 to 1535.

The palace functioned as a governmental center equivalent to modern regional administration, managing the northern territories of the Inca Empire.

The archaeological site spans 38,863 square meters and includes residential sections, terraces, and cemeteries accessible through guided tours organized by local authorities.

The complex connects to the Qhapaq Ñan road network, which linked territories across present-day Peru, Ecuador, Colombia, Chile, and Argentina.
