This culture stood by its ceramics inspired by diverse species zoological (copied and recreated the Mochica culture), and their delicate work of metalwork (ceremonial vessels, breastplates with small discs of gold statuettes, nose rings and earrings, among others).
When the rule of Tahuantinsuyo extended its gains to the north, faced a stiff and prolonged resistance of ayahuacas and huancabambas.

His seat was near Sullana primitive (which turned inhospitable area), then moved to Paita, where the rains and the threat of pirates in 1588 led to his last and final move.
