Huaca Mateo Salado

Huaca Mateo Salado is an archaeological complex in central Lima, Peru, made up of five large stepped adobe pyramids. Built by the Ychsma culture of the central coast in the Late Intermediate period and later used by the Incas, it was one of the main ceremonial centres of the Rímac valley. It is now protected as an archaeological park within the city.
