Miyu Pampa, Archaeological site in Huanuco Region, Peru.

The archaeological complex served as an Inca administrative center and textile production hub from 1460 until the Spanish conquest in 1539.

The name Miyu Pampa derives from Quechua language, where 'miyu' means poison and 'pampa' refers to a large plain or field.

The site contains multiple colcas with circular and rectangular designs, demonstrating Inca methods for food storage and distribution systems.
