Art and Prestige Among Noble Houses of the Equatorial Andes

  • Chapter

Abstract

Challuabamba is located in Azuay Province in the southern highlands of Ecuador, at an altitude of 2300m asl (Figure 6.1). Challuabamba is just west of a zone called El Descanso where the Burgay, Deleg, and Tomebamba rivers join to form the Paute before it plunges into the gorges that lead to the Amazon. The site is located on the south bank of the Tomebamba River between the Salado and the Apangora, small tributary creeks.
