Huaycán de Pariachi is divided into three sectors.[13][8][6]
Sector 1
Sector 1 is the largest and consists of the remains of an ancient population or llaqta (Pariacha, according to the Huarochirí Manuscript). This sector has two zones: spaces used as residences for the elite (Palaces;[13][8][6] one of them restored) and spaces used for other purposes (domestic, industrial, and ritual).
Architecturally, the restored Palacio is constructed using two techniques: rammed earth walls and stone and mud walls. It includes numerous spaces such as courtyards, open areas with benches, ramps, niches (not to be confused with niches carved into some walls, as some of them were used for funerary purposes during the colonial and republican eras), as well as numerous collqas[14][1][5] (deep circular storage deposits, some shaped like a bottle) used for storing food.
Sector 2
In Sector 2 (in front of the main entrance), a segment of an elevated walled road can be observed. This road was part of the network that formed the
Sector 3
Sector 3 is separated from the previous two sectors and is located 1 km west of the entrance to Sector 1. It covers an area of 18 hectares within a perimeter of 553 m, adjacent to the Horacio Zevallos Housing Development. It presents structures with rammed earth walls, although they are in poor condition.
Restoration and investigations
Huaycán de Pariachi has not been fully investigated. However, numerous archaeologists have visited the site, including Dr. Julio C. Tello in the 1940s.[17] Arturo Jiménez Borja carried out restoration and conservation work in the 1970s.[18] Archaeological explorations requested by the city of Huaycán before the INC in 1985, helped to delimit its intangible area. In 2015, the Archaeological Research Project of the Ministry of Culture of Peru was carried out.
