Cajamarquilla, Archaeological site in Jicamarca Valley, Peru.
The complex extends across 167 hectares of land, featuring pyramid temples, wide streets, ceremonial squares, and underground grain storage facilities.
The urban center reached its peak during the Lima Culture period and remained continuously inhabited throughout the first millennium CE.
The site contains multiple burial grounds where archaeologists discovered mummies positioned according to southern Peruvian funeral traditions.
The archaeological complex lies 25 kilometers inland from Lima, positioned 6 kilometers north of the Rimac River.
In 2021, researchers found an 800-year-old mummy with hands covering its face, bound in rope following pre-Inca burial customs.
