Waullac

The complex features five chullpas arranged from north to south, with two or three levels separated by intermediate structures containing niches and small windows.

The settlement dates back to 600 CE during the Wari period, when it functioned as a center of cultural and social activities in the Ancash region.

The presence of a vertical Wanka stone connected to a small altar indicates the religious and ceremonial functions that took place at this archaeological complex.

Located two kilometers east of Huaraz main square, visitors can reach the site through a fifteen-minute car ride or a thirty-five-minute walk.

The archaeological complex extends across one square kilometer at an elevation of 3,100 meters above sea level, along the banks of the Paria River.
