Pre Incan settlement in Northern Argentina
Located in north western Argentina to the north of the provincial capital of Jujuy this pre-Incan settlement is a national monument. The valley has evidence of settlement ranging over 10,000 years although the present site dates from the pre-Incan Quebrada tribe era with construction dated at around the 12th century AD. The settlement housed around 2000 people at its prime but was conquered by the Incans during the 15th century AD. The site has a museum with thousands of artifacts including a mumified body excavated from the site and surrounding region.
