Not many people know Pambamarca. At the end of the 15th century it was an important indigenous military base. It was a key area for local resistance forces, first during their fight against the Incas and later against the Spanish. Here you will find the so-called "pucara", that in the Quichua language means "fortress" or "castle". A pucara is characterised by its form of concentric circles of walls and pits, located at the top of a hill. Actually, there is over 30 pucaras placed on strategic locations around Pambamarca. Pucaras are mainly found in the North of Ecuador, although some exist in other areas as well.
