El Brujo

A very little visited archeological site, which is still undergoing restoration is El Brujo. This site was the product of the Huaca Prieta culture that inhabited the region from approximately 3500-2200 BC. Some portions of the El Brujo archeological site, including Huaca Prieta are 5000 years old.

There are three main temples, Huaca Prieta, Huaca Cao Viejo, and Huaca El Brujo. The Huaca Cao Viejo is the most interesting for visitors with huge friezes showing warriors, priests, and ceremonies. Huaca El Brujo has not been excavated at this point. Huaca Prieta is very interesting from a historical perspective but may be less interesting visually.
