Huaca Ventarrón
A temple site about 4,500 years old that preserves the Deer in the Net mural, one of the oldest known murals in the Americas.
This Formative-period temple was discovered in 2007 and dates to around 2500 BCE, more than two thousand years older than the Moche civilization. Its red and white geometric murals and the Deer in the Net mural are considered among the oldest murals in the Americas, and a small site museum stands nearby. It lies about 20 km east of Chiclayo, near Pomalca, and can be scheduled on the same eastern route as Huaca Rajada.
