Peruvian Paso horse Show - Dinner

1 Days Horse LT005

Information

There have been so many ancient cultures in Peru who have gone on to create so many citadels, farming terraces, temples and pyramids that you often only need to climb the nearest hill to find remnants of their existence. Because of this the vast majority of the country's archaeological sites are relatively unknown, unvisited and unprotected…The valley of the Lurin river is dotted with dozens of ruins starting from the ancient power-centre of Pachacamac up until the far inner reaches of the valley. The Cieneguilla region has many of these ruins and they are all really quite spectacular.

Behind the small town of Huaycán on the road east along the valley are the ruins of a city more than 1500 years old. After identifying several of these cities on Google Earth this was the one that Annett and I decided to attempt to reach first. Climbing up over the sandy foothills of the Andes through the backs of the illegally built houses of the poor we reached the top and were presented with a wonderful view. What was left of the pre-Inca city was spread out before us.

Across on the other side of the valley we climbed a much steeper cerro. At a point half way up we found a series of tombs. All were completely destroyed by tomb raiders who would have removed all the precious materials they could find, but the human bones that were of little value to them still remained..Below, among the ruins, were more fascinating finds. A wall with intriguing shapes unlike any I have seen in any other coastal ruins, a human skull still mostly intact and a large damaged pot.
