The site is punctuated by two peaks, respectively the Jach'a ("large") and Jisk'a ("small") Pukara, and it extends across several artificial terraces that stretch down around their slopes (Figures 2 and 3).

Remains of human occupation include a series of artificial terraces that form concentric rings around the Jach'a Pukara. Associated with the terraces are the remnant foundations of hundreds of circular structures of between 1.5 and 3 meters in diameter, with particularly dense clusters on the southern slope of the Jach'a Pukara (Figure 4).
