Cruzpampa, Pre-Columbian archaeological complex in Huanuco, Peru.
The stone structures at Cruzpampa include rectangular buildings with walls reaching heights between 6 and 8 meters, enclosed by a perimeter wall of 10 meters.
Construction of this Inca administrative center started in 1460 and continued until 1539, when Spanish conquest activities halted further development of the site.
The site contains multiple kallancas and an Ushno platform adorned with trapezoidal doorways featuring feline decorations, demonstrating Inca architectural traditions.
Visitors can explore Cruzpampa daily between 8:00 AM and 4:00 PM from April through October, with the journey taking four and a half hours by car from Huanuco city.
The complex includes 500 different storage units called colcas, which ancient inhabitants used to preserve corn and other agricultural products.
