PUCP Pre-Columbian Road

About the project

This project focused on the walls that fringe the pre-Columbian road, along a stretch of 467 meters (1,532 feet), which are located on the Pontificia Universidad Católica del Perú (PUCP) campus. An in-depth study of this type of structure was conducted, given its importance in the Rimac valley. The PUCP Vice-President approved the proposal, which involved the restoration of the road walls, which began in September 2013.
