Huallumarca

Huallumarca is a pre-Inca burial site in the mountain country of Pataz, east of the northern Peruvian highlands. Its cemetery is among the traces of communities that inhabited these steep Andean slopes before the expansion of Inca rule. The surrounding valleys descend towards the Marañón, while high ridges separate them from the settlements of Huamachuco and Cajamarca to the west.
