Huaca Tungasuca

The archaeological complex features multiple adobe structures arranged in ceremonial platforms across the northern section of Lima Metropolitan Area.

Excavations at Huaca Tungasuca began in the late 20th century after reports of looting led archaeologists to conduct systematic investigations.

The site contains numerous funerary chambers with pottery, metalwork, and animal offerings that demonstrate ancient Peruvian burial practices.

Visitors can access the site through guided tours departing from Lima, with protective canopies installed to shield excavated areas from weather conditions.

Local ground owls inhabit the archaeological structures, maintaining a connection to the animal species that held religious importance for ancient cultures.
