Willcahuain

Willkawain stands above the Callejón de Huaylas near Huaraz, in the northern Peruvian Andes. Its stone buildings and internal galleries belong to a long architectural tradition in Áncash, associated with Recuay and later Wari influence. The best-known building has several levels, with passages and chambers enclosed by massive stone walls. It forms part of a group of highland sites that shared techniques of construction and ceremonial expression across the region.

The later city of Huaraz lies here.
