Argentina: Quilmes

editorial review

This Pre-Hispanic pucará (indigenous Andean fortress) is Argentina's most extensive preserved ruin. Dating from about AD 1000, the complex urban settlement covered about 30 hectares (74 acres), housing perhaps 5000 people. The Quilmes people abided contact with the Incas but could not outlast the Spaniards, who, in 1667, deported the last 2000 to Buenos Aires.
