Tambo Colorado
The archaeological remains of Tambo Colorado (or Puka Tampu), are located in the district of Humay, in the province of Pisco, within the department and region of Ica; on the Peruvian coast, at a height of 566 meters above sea level.
Tambo Colorado owes its name to two features, the first, that of being a Tambo, that is to say, an enclosure destined to fulfill the function of being a place destined to refreshment or temporary accommodation, while the qualifier of “colorado” has its own This is due to the color of the canvases with which the room was plastered.
The Tambo Colorado Architectural Monument is the one that is best preserved, as an Inca legacy, on the Coast of Peru. It is said that it was a building ordered to be carried out during the government of the Inca Pachacútec (more or less around the 1450s).
It is said that it had been intended to be the residence of the Inca in this sector, and that the section of the tambo, would have been destined to the lodge of the guests of the same.
