Huanuco Pampa

About

Huanuco Pampa is one of the administrative centers and storage areas that allowed the incredible, 40,000-kilometer-long Inca Road system to function. Strategically located on a steep plateau, it was easy to defend against the invading Conquistadors, and even after the collapse of the Incan Empire, was never turned into a colonial city. Because it's been left in-situ, the ruins have provided invaluable insights into Inca culture, and offer visitors an unadulterated look at an Inca city. Walking among the ruins, you'll able to see a pyramid along with other works of impressive Inca craftsmanship that have stood the test of time.
