Huaca Huantille, Archaeological site in Magdalena del Mar, Peru.
The pre-Columbian complex extends across four hectares, featuring stepped pyramids and ceremonial spaces within the urban district of Lima Province.
Archaeological excavations from 1940 to 1944 revealed numerous funerary bundles, including a preserved mummy measuring 1.70 meters and burial items of a three-year-old child.
The site functioned as an administrative and ceremonial center during the Late Intermediate Period, connected to the Ychsma culture between 900 and 1432 CE.
The municipality recovered the site in 2006 after relocating 60 families who had occupied the space, enabling preservation efforts and archaeological research.
Discoveries at the site include architectural elements, textiles, ceramics, pendants, courtyards, and a grand staircase that reveals the construction methods of ancient Peru.
