HUARAZ

This article appears in Volume V13, Page 845 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: HOR-I25
HUARAZ , a city of northern Peru and
capital
  of the department of Ancachs, on the left bank of the Huaraz, or Santa river, about 190 M. N.N.W. of
Lima
  and 58 m. from the
coast
 . Pop. (1876) 4851, (1go6 estimate) 6000. Huaraz is situated in a narrow fertile valley of the Western
Cordillera
 , at a considerable
elevation
  above sea-level, and has a mild climate. A railway projected to connect Huaraz with the port of Chimbote, on the Bay of Chimbote, a few miles S. of the mouth of the Santa river, was completed from Chimbote to Suchiman (33 m.) in 1872, when
work
  was suspended for want of money. In the valley of the Huaraz cattle are raised, and wheat,
sugar
  and
fruit
 , gold, silver, copper and coal are produced. Alfalfa is grown by stock-raisers, and the cattle raised here are among the best in the Peruvian market. In the vicinity of Huaraz are megalithic ruins similar to those of Tiahunaco and
Cuzco
 , showing that the aboriginal
empire
  preceding the Incas extended into northern Peru.
