Óllape

Location:
Jalca Grande, Peru

Ruin

By Lorraine Caputo

Up on Cerro Ushparán, near Jalca Grande, lie more Chachapoya ruins. The walls of Óllape's circular once-homes peek from beneath blackberry bushes. They exhibit these ancient peoples' typical stonework designs, whose number indicates it was an important settlement. Atop the knoll is a D-shaped structure with a wooden cross. The base is original and typical of religious Chachapoya structures. It still plays a ceremonial role, in both Christian and popular beliefs. This site, dating from the Late Intermediate Period (800-1500 A.D.) had covered at least three hectares. Jalca Grande may have been a llacta associated with Óllape.
