Tambo Colorado

Tambo Colorado was an early Inca site, thought to have been a type of check point for travelers moving through the area or an administrative center. The site was built in the mid 1400s and consists of baths, various rooms, and a sacrificial altar. Built in the mid 1400s, the adobe walls were painted red and some of the color still remains visible. These are some of the best preserved ruins in the area but are often missed by visitors.

Tambo Colorado is about 45km / 27mi from Pisco. It can be easily reached by bus and taxi, or as part of a tour, which can be booked in Pisco.
