Three to 4 hours away from Cajamarca, in the province of San Pablo, these ceremonial stone ruins date to 1100 B.C. Besides a series of courtyards, plazas, and platforms, many marked with large petroglyphs, burial sites were discovered here. The gold treasures from the tombs are now exhibited in a small museum in the nearby town of San Pablo.
