Pampas Grande,[n 1] founded as San Jerónimo de Pampas,[3] It is a Peruvian town, capital of the homonymous district, located in the central part of the so-called Callejón de Huaylas in the Ancash region, about 4 hours from Huaraz and 9 from Lima. It has an approximate population of 1044 inhabitants,[4] located at an average altitude of 3690 m a.s.l. It has a cold climate with average temperatures of 17 °C in summer and 12 °C in winter.[5]
The history of Pampas Grande before the arrival of the Spanish is very little known. The Kajur archaeological site,[6] located at 1250 meters above sea level,[7] evidences one of the oldest human settlements in this part of the Cordillera Negra. The Cuchicoto archaeological site located near the Canchón summit shows the influence of the Recuay culture during the Early Intermediate period.[8] Inca domination occurred between approximately 1430 and 1450, during the rule of the Sapa Inca Pachacútec. The lordships of huaylas and conchucos were incorporated into Tahuantinsuyo after a fierce invasion by the Inca Cápac Yupanqui, brother and general of the Sapa Inca, who was forced to withdraw and build the Maraycalle tambo in Yauya.[9] The first reference to Pampas Grande during the colony it is made in the year 1618.[10] In 1774 the parish of La Asunción de Huaylas was founded, with two partialities: Allauca and Ichoc.[11] Here the town of Pampas was assigned, forming its population members of the ayllu Poma, west of the town of Cajamarquilla.[12] By 1830 the parish of Pampas,[n 2] was made up of the town of the same name and another called Huanchay. By 1857 the district of Pampas was created with its capital Pampas.[14] In 1907 the district of La Libertad was detached from Pampas. [15] In 1933, the district of Huanchay was created in the southern part of the district of Pampas.[16] In 1941, the Colcabamba district was detached from Pampas.[17] In 2009, a popular consultation was held to change the name of the town from Pampas to Pampas Grande.[18] On March 15, 2012, the town was formally renamed Pampas Grande through the Law No. 29846.[1]
The main economic activities are agriculture and livestock basically, although trade is also an important item in the town; Tourism and mining, to a lesser extent, are also sources of economic income. The main tourist places are Cerro Racpiquita, Cerro Yaco Punta, Cerro Canchón and Cerro Cuchicoto. Its festivities include: the Shancac Festival, the Virgen de Fátima Patronal Festival, the New Year's Party from January 1 to 4, Christmas and the Patronal Festival in honor of Saint Jerome from September 29 to October 2.[19] The typical dances that stand out are: the negrazos and the pastorcillos.[20]
