These ruins are easily reached from Punkurí. Just walk out the front entrance of Punkurí and keep going straight for about 400 yards down the dirt farm road...If you are lucky, they will not be any water in the irrigation ditch. Cross the ditch and go another 100 m up the hill, and you will start seeing ruins. You will see many many holes where looters have robbed the tombs. A walk around will take about 30 minutes. Worth the time if you go to Punkurí. Ask the caretaker at Punkurí and he will tell you that they are from the Schin civilization, the appear much more recent than that.
