Quilmes
"Arguably northwestern Argentina's single most impressive pre-Columbian ruins, the fortified settlement of Quilmes ascends the arid eastern slope of the Cerro Alto del Rey. Covering about 30 hectares, the city supported a population upwards of 5,000 in terraced structures with thick walls, overlooking irrigated farmlands."
