by Caral Perú
With a quadrangular base, it had a ceremonial hall and a higher rear room, located on the building’s main axis. These areas were flanked by two lateral rooms. It covers a 2,130 m2 area and is 3 meter high.
In the first period, the walls were built with cut stones joined with gray clay mortar, mixed with fine gravel. The walls were plastered with yellow clay and then painted in white.

In the late period, the rear room was buried with deposits of coarse gravel and angular stone, and a platform was built with boulder walls, joined with beige clay mortar and fine gravel. A quadrangular enclosure was built on the top of that platform.
