gallinazo

The Gallinazo group site was the primary center of the valley during this time and most likely the seat of regional leadership.

The largest civic building is located at the core of Huaca Gallinazo.

The capital of the Virú valley during this time period was an urban area called Gallinazo Group site.

These architectural ornaments are well known in the art of both Gallinazo and Moche cultures, where they adorn the roof of important buildings.

The excavations at Huaca Santa Clara tell us the nature of the relationship between the Moche leaders and the Gallinazo community.

The Virú culture (alternatively known as the Gallinazo) was a pre-Columbian, pre-Inca culture that flourished at the Virú Valley on the north west coast of Peru.

He was also the author of two important essays: the first, "La sicologia del gallinazo", an anti-tourist, unembellished guide to Lima and its psychology, which would later influence Julio Ramón Ribeyro; the second, "Belmonte el tragico".

Huaca Gallinazo is the largest mound of the Gallinazo Group in the Virú Valley occupied from as early as the first century B.C. until as late as the seventh century A.D..
