Qulu Qulu, Pre-Hispanic burial site in Patambuco District, Peru.
The archaeological complex contains approximately 100 square-shaped stone structures called chullpas spread across the Andean highlands near Patambuco River.
The burial structures at Tumbas de Colo Colo were constructed during the post-Tiwanaku period around 1300 CE, before the Inca expansion in the region.
The stone structures represent the burial practices of independent kingdoms that inhabited the region, with evidence suggesting a population of up to 1000 individuals.
The archaeological site sits at an elevation of 3000 meters and requires a thirty-minute walk from the village of Patambuco to reach the structures.
The collection of chullpas at this location provides archaeological evidence of the Lupaca culture's funeral customs in the pre-Hispanic Andean region.
