Huaycán de Pariachi, Archaeological site in Ate district, Peru.
The archaeological complex spans 60 hectares across three sectors, featuring pyramids, ramps, storage areas, and connecting passageways built using the Tapial mud construction method.
The site functioned as a primary administrative center in the middle Rímac Valley, initially occupied by the Ychsma culture until the Inca Empire integrated it around 1400 AD.
The excavations revealed pottery, baskets, textiles, and painted walls with ochre, yellow, and white designs representing the local fauna of the period.
The site opens daily from 9 AM to 5 PM with entrance fees of 5 soles for adults, 2 soles for university students, and 1 sol for children under 12.
The main palace, built into the hillside, displays multi-level architectural planning with intricate designs that indicate it served as a residence for ruling elites.
