About
Pilluchu, located in the Ayacucho Region of Peru, is an archaeological site perched atop a mountain which shares its name. This site is situated at an altitude of approximately 3,800 meters, offering a strategic vantage point that suggests its historical use as a defensive site. The presence of hill fort features indicates its significance during the Early to Late Post-Classical Period, around the 11th century CE. Its location southwest of Vilcashuamán, within the Vilcas Huamán Province and District, places it within a region known for its rich cultural and archaeological heritage. While specific details about the site's features remain scant due to the limited information available, its elevated and strategic position points to its potential role in local defense and regional control during its time of occupation.
