Notable features include megalithic architecture with carved figures in bas-relief, which graphically dramatize human sacrifices.〔 Cerro Sechín is situated within the Sechin Complex, as are Sechin Alto, Sechin Bajo, and Taukachi-Konkan. There is a small on-site museum.〔 The slabs at Cerro Sechin may represent the central Andes' oldest known monumental sculpture.〔
