Archaeologists have uncovered a 3,500-year-old city in northern Peru that likely served as a key trade hub connecting ancient coastal, Andean, and Amazonian cultures.
A newly revealed archaeological site in Peru, named Peñico, may have played a central role in linking Pacific coast societies with those in the Andes and Amazon around 1800–1500 BC.
The ancient urban center, discovered in Barranca province, sits 600 meters above sea level and features stone and mud structures, ceremonial temples, and plazas with sculptural reliefs and clay artifacts.
Peñico is believed to have emerged after the Caral civilization—one of the oldest in the Americas—was impacted by climate change.
Led by archaeologist Ruth Shady, the team says the site represents a continuation of Caral’s legacy, flourishing alongside ancient civilizations in Egypt, India, and China, but developed in isolation.
After eight years of research, archaeologists have identified 18 structures, including religious complexes and homes.
Notable finds include pututu trumpets, human and animal figurines, and ornamental jewelry. Experts believe Peñico’s strategic location enabled it to thrive as a cultural and commercial hub.
