📋 Tender Overview
The Ministry of Culture coordinated with the District Municipality of Los Olivos, the restitution of the integrity of the Huaca Pro Archaeological Site, of the aforementioned district, which consisted of the covering of three excavations inside its intangible zone, which were carried out illegally by some residents in the vicinity.
The staff of the aforementioned local government carried out the restoration of the level of the ground in the territory of the aforementioned pre-Hispanic monument. This coordinated action was carried out in response to a citizen complaint on social networks, published a few days ago, by the Cultural Organization "Cuida tu Huaca Plo", in which it announced the affectation taking advantage of the long holiday for Holy Week.
According to the complaint, "a group of neighbors ordered the digging with the intention of planting medium-sized trees, within the area that officially corresponds to the area of the archaeological site," a fact that constitutes an infraction against the Cultural Heritage of the Nation.
The coordination was established between the Directorate of Control and Supervision – a unit of the General Directorate for the Defense of Cultural Heritage – of the Ministry of Culture, and the Human Development, Citizen Security and Environmental Management departments of the District Municipality of Los Olivos.
The Huaca Pro Archaeological Site was built by the ancient Colli society, on the left bank of the Chillón River, more than 600 years ago; it comprises an area of 11,2000 m2. It is divided into three sectors, and has as part of its vestiges a semi-rappezoidal pyramid of elongated shape, 160 m long by 70 m wide, oriented from northeast to southeast.
The Ministry of Culture calls on citizens to assume a preventive attitude, be alert and report any attack against the integrity of our valuable cultural, movable or immovable, archaeological and historical heritage, by calling (01) 321-5561 and 976066977, WhatsApp 976066977, email atenciondedenuncias@cultura.gob.pe, or entering the website http://denunciaspc.cultura.gob.pe/
