Detail InformationEdit

Marcahuamachuco is a site of Pre-Incan ruins in the La Libertad Region of Peru. Although less known, it has been referred to by archaeologists as “Machu Picchu of the North” and “The Jewel of La Libertad.”Construction of Marcahuamachuco began around 400 AD, during the Andean Middle Horizon period – prior to the imperial expansion of the Incas and the Huari – and continued until approximately 800 AD.
Before being conquered by the Incas, Marcahuamachuco was known as Peru’s most important political, economic and military center. The function of the site, although not fully clear, was that of a ceremonial oracle, as well as a religious and political center, including turning into a burial site in its later stages.
Its social gravitation extended all of northern Peru and contemporary southern Ecuador. It is possible that this importance was based on trade with its neighbors, the Mochica to the west, the Recuay culture to the south, Cajamarca in the north and lesser-known cultures of the Maranon between 650 and 700 AD.
