Huaca Yolanda: conoce el hallazgo de una pieza milenaria clave de las civilizaciones de la costa norte

"Un reciente descubrimiento arqueológico, ocurrido en la Huaca Yolanda (La Libertad), revela un mural policromo de entre 3,000 y 4,000 años de antigüedad con diseños y técnicas diferentes a todo lo registrado anteriormente en la zona. La Dra. Ana Cecilia Mauricio, profesora PUCP y directora del programa de investigación, enfatiza que este hallazgo está en riesgo por la expansión agrícola en la zona.

Este 7 de julio de 2025, en una mañana inesperada, en Huaca Yolanda (Valle de Chao en La Libertad), la excavación en la zona expuso un mural polícromo que es parte de un atrio y que es único en su estilo. La Dra. Ana Cecilia Mauricio, arqueóloga y profesora del Departamento de Humanidades PUCP, lideró este descubrimiento que marca un antes y un después en el estudio del periodo formativo en la costa norte del Perú. Las figuras en el mural revelan un simbolismo profundo de las antiguas culturas preincaicas.

Importancia del descubrimiento en Huaca Yolanda y su contenido
El mural policromo encontrado en la Huaca Yolanda no es solo un vestigio más: es una pieza clave para comprender a las antiguas civilizaciones de la costa norte del Perú. Según la Dra. Ana Cecilia Mauricio, quien lidera el Programa Arqueológico Ecodinámicas Tempranas de los Valles de Chao y Santa (Praet), el mural tiene características que lo hacen singular en su tipo. «Este mural de Huaca Yolanda es único: jamás se había registrado algo así en la zona, ni en el Valle de Santa ni en el Valle de Chao», comentó. La combinación de elementos decorativos como las estrellas y figuras de seres parecidos a peces, con redes de pesca, hacen de este mural una pieza de una sofisticación inesperada para su época."
