Tunanmarka, Archaeological site in Tunan Marca District, Peru.
The archaeological complex contains multiple stone structures arranged in circular patterns across the elevated terrain of the Mantaro Valley region.
Archaeological investigations conducted by the University of California research team in the 1970s determined the site dates back to 600-500 BC.
The name Tunanmarca derives from Quechua language elements: Tunan meaning high location and Marca referring to a settlement or dwelling place.
The archaeological site remains open daily from 8:00 to 17:00 with free admission and requires approximately two hours to reach by car from Huancayo.
The Central Reserve Bank of Peru featured Tunanmarca's architectural elements on a commemorative coin in 2013 as part of their national heritage series.
