Huaca Aznapuquio

The archaeological complex features adobe pyramids and ancient structures made from mud bricks, demonstrating advanced construction methods from pre-Hispanic times.

Between 200 AD and 700 AD, the Lima culture established this settlement, which later served as a pottery workshop during the Inca period.

Archaeological excavations at the site revealed multiple pottery kilns and ceramic fragments from both Ichma and Inca origins.

The site stands near the intersection of Los Alisos Avenue and surrounded by residential buildings in the Los Olivos district of Lima.

The name Aznapuquio derives from the confluence of Chillon Valley and Piedra Liza canal, which created water reservoirs essential for pottery production.
