Crumbling walls of Chanquillo dated archeological site 350 BC. that is located just off the Pan American highway north of Lima and just south of Casma. Several towers surrounded by concentric walls make up the remnants of the fortress. Surrounded by a parched landscape of sand dunes, little is known about the crumbled structure. Lack of funds have kept the archeological site from being excavated but it is believed that the stone walls may have been used for ritual battles rather than real ones; Chanquillo, Casma, Peru
