Tarmatambo, Archaeological site in Tarma Province, Peru.
The archaeological complex stretches along sloping hillsides with rectangular and circular buildings arranged in extended rows at 5 kilometers from Tarma center.
The settlement dates from 1200-1450 AD and formed part of the Tahuantinsuyo Royal Road network that connected different regions of the Inca Empire.
The structures and abundant ceramics at Tarmatambo demonstrate the architectural methods and settlement patterns employed throughout the Inca civilization in Peru.
Visitors can reach the archaeological site by following the main road that leads from Tarma valley towards Jauja, with accommodations available in nearby hotels.
The name Tarmatambo combines references to the local Tarma ethnic group and the Quechua word tampu, which designated an inn along Inca routes.
