Puma

Puma lies in the high country associated with La Poma and the upper Calchaquí Valley. A cave above the river sheltered the Graneros de La Poma, storehouses used in the pre-Hispanic period. The Incas incorporated the site into a road system linking the Calchaquí Valley with Tastil and the northern highlands. Stored harvests supplied a system of tribute and redistribution across this difficult mountain landscape.
