About 1450 years ago, our city grew on a hill along a route through the Andes.
The center of the city is dominated by a religious ceremonial center, with houses surrounding.
Large, multi-story buildings are scattered throughout the city, set up in walled off compounds. Manmade subterranean tunnels are was also found within the city.

Our city of Wari is located deep in the Andes, on a hill overlooking the Mantaro River of south-central Peru.
Our location is along a critical trade route from the inland side of the Andes to the Pacific Ocean, which is a big part of Wari's success in becoming the capital of an empire.
