The Windows of Otuzco, are also known as: The Necropolis of Otuzco, the name of “windows” is due to the appearance that they show as a set of cavities organized in consecutive rows horizontally.

What are the Ventanillas de Otuzco?
The windows are square and rectangular concavities, carved in low relief in a rocky surface of volcanic origin (made up of trachytic and phenolytic lava).

History of the Ventanillas de Otuzco:
The Cajamarca culture had an influence between the years 300 and 800 AD. These crypts were probably used for a second burial, since no complete bone remains were found. Apparently the deceased were first buried in the ground, after some time, some bones and skulls were deposited in the niches carved in the rocks for veneration purposes.

Construction of the Windows of Otuzco
These crypts or niches of rectangular and square shape were carved in trachyte stone – stonework, superimposed one on top of the other, which are protected by gutters so that the water can flow in the rainy season.

The niches and galleries are 8 to 10 meters deep and each sepulchral cavity is 50 or 60 cm. high that originally must have had stone tombstones with symbolic figures in relief, a conclusion that is given due to some fragments found in the crypts and some ceremonies.
