Huánuco Pampa
Lost and Buried CityDescription
Huánuco Pampa is a lost and buried city in Peru, South America.
Huánuco Pampa was a major Inca administrative centre with a large plaza, an elevated ceremonial platform and extensive storage facilities. Its planned layout illustrates imperial organisation beyond the Sacred Valley and the role of settlements along the Inca road system. The administrative centre belongs to the broad Inca imperial phase of the fifteenth and early sixteenth centuries. This cultural-period interval is not an exact foundation date and excludes the later brief Spanish settlement.
