Something not right?

Description

2000-2400 BC ruins. very interesting with tunnels that go in so deep it's a little unnerving when you turn off your torch. these are the oldest ruins we've seen in Peru. great road the whole way but only one and a half lanes so lots of honking. highly recommend.

Interesting, fifteen-minute stop.

It seems that whatever tunnels were here have collapsed. I found a few holes in the ground which looked maybe a meter or two deep, but there was no room for a person.

Beside the main structure there are a few walls on the north side.

Totally disagree with the previous comment 'terrible'. So cool, worth a stop! Did not find a cave, but still worth exploring.

We couldn’t find any cave. There was a whole that went a couple stories underground but that’s it. Might be collapsed. Was terrible. Not recommend.

worth a visit. be careful you visit on your own risk. as its not really excavated all is up to your imagination. without the previous entries we would have missed it. thanks a lot to ioverlander and people contributing!

Definitely a worthy stop. 1 meter from the road.

Pretty cool ruins, nice holes, but i would not recommand to explore the tunnels, i mean they are more than 4000 years old...
