Huayuri, also called the Lost City of Huayuri, is a large pre-Columbian archaeological site which flourished from 1150 to 1450 CE in the Late Intermediate Period (1000 - 1476 CE) of Peru. Huayuri is located in the Peruvian coastal desert in Ica Region. Its prominence was probably dependent upon an climatic phase in which the area received greater precipitation than at earlier and later periods. The site may have been abandoned in the 16th century because of water shortages, conflict with the expanding Inca Empire, or epidemics of European diseases. The town (or city) of stone houses was located in a ravine between two mountain ridges, a location possibly dictated by a need for defense. Archaeological evidence indicates Huayari relied upon rainfall harvesting for its drinking water and some

dbo:abstract
  • Huayuri son las ruinas de un vasto asentamiento pre Inca en la costa Perú. Se estima el mismo estuvo operativo entre los años 1100 al 1476. La ciudad fue establecida por la etnia Poroma durante el reino Ica Chincha. Las ruinas se encuentran ubicadas en la Quebrada de Santa Cruz, Provincia de Palpa, Departamento de Ica, en cercanías del río Santa Cruz. De las ruinas se estima que Huayuri tuvo una población de unos 5000 habitantes, y las ruinas comprenden diversas construcciones entre las que se identifican templos, plazas, edificios administrativos, todos ellos en un traza de calles estrechas. Los estudios arqueológicos realizados indican que es probable que la ciudad tuvo su momento de apogeo luego de que la cultura Nazca se extinguiera y previo al arribo de los Incas. El material encontrado hace pensar que el sitio también fue ocupado por los Incas. (es)
