Ninamarka, Archaeological site in Paucartambo Province, Peru.

The Ninamarka archaeological complex contains 30 stone funeral towers built on a mountain peak at 3,000 meters above sea level.

The pre-Inca burial structures at Ninamarka demonstrate the architectural methods and engineering capabilities of early Andean societies.

These ancient funeral towers, known as chullpas, represent the mortuary practices and social organization of pre-Inca communities in the Cusco region.

The site requires a guided hike through mountainous terrain from Colquepata village, and visitors should prepare for high-altitude conditions.

Each of the 30 stone towers at Ninamarka maintains its original structural integrity despite centuries of exposure to mountain weather conditions.
