Cumbemayo is an ancient archaeological site located near the city of Cajamarca in northern Peru. Known for its remarkable pre-Inca aqueducts and impressive stone carvings, Cumbemayo is situated at an altitude of approximately 3,500 meters (11,500 feet) above sea level. The site features an extensive network of canals, believed to be over 3,000 years old, which were ingeniously designed to manage and distribute water from the surrounding highlands. Additionally, visitors can explore intriguing rock formations, petroglyphs, and a large stone structure known as the "Sanctuary" or "Stone Forest," which adds to the site's mystical allure.
