Inka Tampu, Cajamarca, Archaeological site in Cajamarca, Peru.
The stone structures of Inka Tampu spread across the Tamshiyacu Valley, displaying rectangular buildings connected by narrow pathways and terraced agricultural areas.
The settlement functioned as a strategic point along the Inca road network during the 15th century, connecting different regions for trade and administrative purposes.
The architectural layout of Inka Tampu reflects Inca social organization through separate zones for residential, storage, and ceremonial activities within the complex.
Visitors can reach the site by taking a four-wheel drive vehicle from Cajamarca city, with local guides available at the nearby town of Pomahuaca.
The position of Inka Tampu at the intersection of mountain paths allows exploration of both highland and valley archaeological features in a single location.
