===Cerro de Oro - This fantastic Wari city (500-1200AD) is an archeological site, with ruins and burial ground. The are skulls, bones, ceramics and ornate cloth lying all over the burial grounds, due to the destructive activites of "huaceros" or grave robbers. The Cerro is right on the Pan Am, just north of San Luis de Canete - an easy walk.=== <p class="MsoNormal">

<p class="MsoNormal">SECURITY:

<p class="MsoNormal">In general, the Canete area is very safe, especially when using common sense. However, the one exception is the city of Imperial. I’ve never gotten a good “vibe” there – even in the daytime. One PCV was mugged there. Stay near the Plaza.
