Tambo Inga, Archaeological site in Puente Piedra, Peru.

The archaeological complex contains structures made of adobe, stone, and clay walls reaching heights of 5 meters across three distinct sectors.

Built between 1475 and 1480 during the reign of Tupac Yupanqui, Tambo Inga operated as an Inca administrative center near the Chillon River.

The excavations revealed funeral bundles containing human remains wrapped with pottery, textiles, and necklaces, indicating significant Inca burial practices.

Located at coordinates -11.889461, -77.0711, the site requires protection measures due to its proximity to urban areas and exposure to vandalism.

Archaeological research in 2017 uncovered Cuchimilco figurines and ceremonial ceramics, demonstrating the location's function for funeral rituals.
