Huaca Lechuza, Archaeological site in San Martín de Porres District, Peru.
The site contains a large adobe pyramid structure with architectural elements reflecting construction methods from pre-Columbian civilizations in the Lima region.
Archaeological excavations at Huaca Lechuza revealed numerous artifacts, including pottery and tools dating from the Middle Horizon period, connecting it to the Garagay complex.
The name translates to 'owl shrine' and the structure holds religious significance as it served ceremonial functions for early Andean societies.
The archaeological site sits at the intersection of Dominicos Avenue and Bocanegra Avenue, within the CORPAC Santa Rosa property grounds in Lima.
The monument exhibits architectural patterns and ceramic evidence that distinguish it as part of the central coast building tradition of ancient Peru.
