Los Pinchudos

Also known as: Лос-Пинчудос, ლოს-პინჩუდოსი, ロス・ピンチュドス遺跡

Los Pinchudos is an elaborate Chachapoya tomb complex, perched in a high rock cleft in one of Peru's northern Andean cloud forests [1]. The clay and stone tombs of the complex have wooden roofs and are painted in red, yellow, black, and white colors [1]. Anthropomorphic carvings featuring prominent phalluses are responsible for giving the site its name [1]. Los Pinchudos is located very near the related site of Gran Pajaten [1].
