Cerro Pátapo Ruins

The Cerro Pátapo ruins, also called Northern Wari ruins, are the remains of a pre-Columbian city located near present-day Chiclayo, Peru[1]. The settlement was built by the Wari (Huari) culture, which flourished from 350 CE to 1000 CE along the coast and extending into the highland regions[1]. These northern Wari ruins are distinguished from the major Wari archaeological sites found in the Ayacucho Region to the south[1].
