An extraordinary site, very different from other Inca sites (ie on a large plain and the large unique ushnu) - You can probably expect to see a handful of visitors at this site as it is still relatively remote. A long day trip from Huaraz is just manageable. It can also be accessed from Huanuco via La Union. It is set over a large area and some of the ruins are difficult to visualize. There is a plan before you enter which is worth referring to (or in Craig Morris's book on Huanuco Pampa, published by Thames and Hudson) . Give yourself two to three hours at least. There is a circular and well-maintained route which leads you past some circular and restored structures (not particularly Inca stylistically) then after reaching a large parallel lineal structure, punctured by the path you are a short distance from the gently decaying ushnu platform structure. Although there are many Inca features, the stone used seems pretty friable (limestone and maybe sandstones, etc) and not the more permanent volcanic stones often used in other Inca sites. There are interesting carved features (various animals) around the key entrance points. Observe the hollowed stones midway along the top on all four walls. following this you are led through a series of double-jambed and maybe even a triple-jambed doorway past a major kallanka or hall and a series of smaller structures until you reach an area where you can see the a bathing area. This final sector is more in line with what you find at other Inca sites.
