Geographic Aspects

The archaeological site covers the Era de Pando gully in the lower section of the Supe Valley, thirteen kilometers away from the coast. The gully is formed by geological terraces of colluvial formation and an extensive plain with runoffs of different sizes, coming from the Taro and Orqueta mountains. It is a natural way that connects with the Pativilca valley and the Tayta Laynes micro-basin.

The architectural components of the archaeological site were built on the terraces and on the mountain slopes next to the valley.
