TAMBO COLORADO – INCA ARCHAEOLOGICAL COMPLEX

On this tour you will be able to learn about the history of the Inca ancestors
through their legends and incredible constructions on the coast of Humay
Pisco. Tambo Colorado is the place where the Incas ruled and built different
temples. The original name was Pucallacta or pucawasi which means "red
resting place" due to the color used to paint the walls and hallways with a
deep red color throughout the large complex made of mud bricks.
The site was built around 1450 over remains of Chincha stronghold. Inca
Pachacutec transformed the ancient city and used it to monitor traffic
between the coast and the mountains while he built the empire. The
uniqueness of this adobe complex lies in the way the Incas adapted and
transformed the typical architectural style of the mountains: finely carved
overlapping stone blocks covered in mud and adobe.
This political-administrative center functioned as a control zone between
the mountains and the coast and included a military base, accommodation
for the Incas, a ceremonial site, food warehouses and a meeting point. The
urban complex is made up of three large areas: the Inca palace, the temple
of the sun and the ushnu (small pyramid platform), all linked by the Inca
road system.
