Huaca Mangomarca, Pre-Columbian archaeological complex in San Juan de Lurigancho, Peru
The archaeological site features stepped pyramids built with adobe and rammed earth, connected through a network of winding passages and ceremonial platforms.
During the Late Intermediate Period between 900 and 1470 CE, this site served as the capital of the Lurigancho chiefdom within the Ichma domain.
The complex includes burial chambers with rectangular stone-lined tombs that reveal information about ancient funeral practices and social organization patterns.
The archaeological site stands at 220 meters above sea level on block 20 of Santuario Avenue, accessible through guided tours organized by cultural authorities.
The Ministry of Culture implements educational programs at the site where children participate in storytelling sessions about pre-Hispanic history and archaeological preservation.
