Ventarron, Archaeological temple in Pomalca, Peru
The archaeological site features a temple built with river sediment adobe bricks and contains polychrome murals depicting deer hunting scenes.
The ceremonial center operated continuously from 3000 to 1700 BCE, establishing the foundation of civilization in northern coastal Peru.
The temple structure incorporates architectural elements that align with cosmic connections and mountain worship, reflecting ancient Peruvian religious practices.
Visitors can access the site by taking public transportation from Epsel terminal in Chiclayo to Pomalca, followed by a short mototaxi ride.
A fire in 2017 damaged the site, but conservation treatments prevented complete loss of the polychrome murals, which remain among Americas oldest.
