Huaca Bellavista

Huaca Bellavista, Archaeological site in Santa Anita, Peru.

Huaca Bellavista is an archaeological zone in the Santa Anita district of Lima, on the left bank of the Rímac River. Its structure stands 12 meters tall and is attributed to the Ychsma culture, which the Incas later occupied. Excavations there uncovered Ychsma burials, including children's bodies with funerary objects of the elite, and Inca aríbalos.

Huaca Bellavista is attributed to the Ychsma culture and was later occupied by the Incas. In pre-Hispanic times it formed part of the curacazgo of Lati, like the Puruchuco-Huaquerones area. Excavations uncovered Ychsma burials, including children's bodies with funerary objects of the elite, and Inca aríbalos. Since 2015 the Ministry of Culture, with the Municipality of Santa Anita, has carried out research and conservation work directed by Roxana Gómez.

Excavations at Huaca Bellavista uncovered burials of the Ychsma culture, including the bodies of children with funerary objects attributed to the elite, together with Inca aríbalos, the large jars of that culture. The same digs also found burials of Chinese immigrants, evidence of later groups buried at the site.

Since 2015 the Ministry of Culture, working with the Santa Anita municipality, has carried out research, conservation and enhancement work at the site, led by Roxana Gómez. The huaca stands on the left bank of the Rímac River, in the Santa Anita district of Lima, and rises 12 meters.

Since 2015 the Ministry of Culture and the Santa Anita municipality have carried out research and conservation work directed by Roxana Gómez.
