Paraccra Archaeological Site

Paraccra is an archaeological site in the Andes of Peru, situated in the Arequipa Region, Caylloma Province, Sibayo District, near the Colca River. The site sits on a mountain of the same name, whose name possibly derives from Aymara meaning a piece of land that is neither flat nor mountainous. It features towers, round houses, and distinctive black walls characteristic of pre-Inca highland settlements.
