(admission S9; dawn-dusk) This early Inca outpost, 45km northeast of Pisco, was named
for the red paint that once completely covered its adobe walls. It's one of the best-pre-
served sites on the south coast and is thought to have served as an administrative base and
control point for passing traffic. From Pisco, it takes about an hour to get here by car. Hire
a taxi for half a day (S50) or take a tour from Pisco (S60, two-person minimum).
