Quyllur, Archaeological site and mountain in Cajamarca, Peru.

The Peruvian government officially designated Quyllur as a National Cultural Heritage site through Resolution 284 on April 16, 2004.

The name Quyllur originates from the Quechua language meaning star, reflecting the indigenous linguistic heritage of the Cajamarca region.
