Guamanmayo

Guamanmayo is an older name associated with Barranca on the central coast of Peru. The settlement lies near the cultivated valleys of the Pativilca and Fortaleza rivers, where water from the Andes reaches the Pacific through a dry coastal plain. The surrounding region contains major remains of pre-Hispanic societies, including the great adobe complex at Paramonga. Its position placed it among the coastal communities incorporated into the Chimú and later Inca realms.
