Pumpu

The Pumpu archaeological complex extends across mountainous terrain with structures dedicated to administrative functions and camelid management during pre-Hispanic times.

During the Inca period, Pumpu operated as a central administration point for the Tawantinsuyu empire, managing the distribution of alpaca resources throughout the region.

The archaeological findings at Pumpu reveal extensive evidence of alpaca-based activities, including meat preparation and textile production central to local communities.

Visitors need to arrange transportation to reach this remote location, and should bring necessary supplies as the site lacks modern facilities or services.

Excavations at Pumpu have uncovered numerous camelid bone remains, indicating the site's primary role in alpaca herding within the Inca economic system.
