On the hill of Atumpucro in the department of Amazonas a new archaeological site was found. Martin Chumbe explorer of Chachapoyas, discovered the composite structures of 150 houses in two hectares.

The Atumpucro complex has houses with rectangular windows, niches and friezes in all circles. The explorer also added that these houses are built on large terraces and breathtaking walls 50 meters long and 3 meters high.

It’s situated on the left bank of the Utcubamba River in the district of San Juan de Lopecancha (Amazonas). Atumpucro can become a new tourist destination where you can also see the Utcubamba River Valley.
