Pampa Grande

Chongoyape District, Peru

Pampa Grande is an archaeological site located in the Lambayeque Valley, in northern Peru, situated on the south shore of the Chancay-Lambayeque River. It is located to the east of the city of Chiclayo. This ancient city belonged both to Cupisnique and to Chavin cultures, and the earliest dates are around 600 BC. Later, during the Moche period (c. 600 – c. 700 AD), the city was a major regional capital. Another famous Moche site, Sipán, is located only about 10 km west from Pampa Grande along the Chancay-Lambayeque River valley.
