The Yumbos culture was thriving in the area from the 13th to 16th Centuries. The Yumbos had a trading network which reached from the Sierra to the Coast.
You can also find archeological ruins of the Yumbos culture in Tulipe town (near Urcu Puyujunda Cloud Forest Lodge), called the Incas's Pools.
Alongside this, in the whole area you can find numerous ceremonial tolas (pyramids) and also funerary tolas created by the Yumbos in the pre-Inca Tolas period, together with the Yumbos path or Cápac - ñan, which had a great relevance within the community. This archaeological richness is complemented by Tulipe's archaeological complex, one of the greatest discoveries from this period.
