The cut represents the Mirador, or look-out, at Huanuco el Viejo.
The quarries that supplied the stone for the Huanuco structures are still seen about half a mile away.
At Huanuco, in Peru, there is a coal-bed existing at the height of 14,700 feet.
From Huanuco the road leads to Huaraz, and from thence to the north coast.
Another noted ruin at Huanuco is that whose entrance is shown in the cut.
