The Pomac Forest
Historical Sanctuary is located in Batán
Grande, 20 Km from Ferreñafe or 38 Km
from Chiclayo. This dry forest is a
refuge for carob trees, birds, and at
the same time for Sican archeological
remains. Here are twenty pre-Inca mounds
or pyramids, called huacas, like Las
Ventanas Huaca, Huaca Lucía, Huaca La
Merced or Huaca Rodillona. The
archeological discoveries have been
surprising because of the quantity of
gold objects found. The Sican
Archeological Project located a tomb
with valuable burial items composed of
crowns, rings, masks, bracelets,
necklaces, weapons, armor, and other
objects of gold and semiprecious stones
like turquoise, spondylus (red sea
shell), lapis lazuli, and amber. The
forest is full of varied flora of zapote
(quararibea sp), guarango, and carob
trees.
