Aspero

The archaeological complex spans 513 hectares near the Pacific Ocean, featuring pyramidal structures, residential areas, and underground storage facilities at the Supe River mouth point.

Excavations revealed settlements dating back 7000 years, with inhabitants focusing on fishing, shellfish gathering, and trading with inland communities from the Supe Valley region.

The ancient population participated in the formation of the first Andean civilization through maritime resource extraction and established trade networks with Caral Sacred City.

Visitors can access the site through Plaza Miguel Grau, following marked paths that lead through natural landscapes of sandy hills, wetlands, farmlands, and marine beaches.

The complex contains 22 distinct sectors with seven pyramidal buildings, including Huaca Alta, Huaca de los Idolos, and Huaca de los Sacrificios structures.
