 Incapillo is part of the Andean Central Volcanic Zone , which extends through the countries of Chile , Bolivia , and Argentina and includes six or more Quaternary caldera or ignimbrite systems , about 44 stratovolcanoes , and over 18 smaller centres . One of these stratovolcanoes , Ojos del Salado , is the world 's highest volcano . This zone also includes the Altiplano @-@ Puna volcanic complex and the Galan caldera farther south . Incapillo is the southernmost volcano of the Central Volcanic Zone with Pleistocene activity ; the next such volcano to the south is Tupungato in the Southern Volcanic Zone at 33 ° southern latitude .

 At issue is credit for the discovery of the civilization , naming it , and developing the theoretical models to explain it . That Shady was describing a civilization is clear in 1997 : ( " los albores de la civilización en el Perú . " ) . While locating it on the Supe River , with Caral at its center , she suggested a larger geographic base for the society :

 Part of the Cordillera Ampato , it is Peru 's largest and highest volcano . Coropuna is located south of the Pucuncho basin in the Peruvian Andes and 110 kilometres ( 68 mi ) away from the Pacific coast . Neighbouring volcanoes are the 5 @,@ 498 @-@ metre ( 18 @,@ 038 ft ) Firura ( 15 ° 14 ′ S 72 ° 48 ′ W ) and the 6 @,@ 093 @-@ metre ( 19 @,@ 990 ft ) Solimana ( 15 ° 24 ′ S 72 ° 52 ′ W ) . Firura is a structure with two dome shaped summits , while Solimana features a caldera and a high , glacially affected topography .

 The discovery of Norte Chico has also shifted the focus of research away from the highland areas of the Andes and lowlands adjacent to the mountains ( where the Chavín , and later Inca , had their major centers ) to the Peruvian littoral , or coastal regions . Norte Chico is located in a north @-@ central area of the coast , approximately 150 to 200 km north of Lima , roughly bounded by the Lurín Valley on the south and the Casma Valley on the north . It comprises four coastal valleys : the Huaura , Supe , Pativilca , and Fortaleza ; known sites are concentrated in the latter three , which share a common coastal plain . The three principal valleys cover only 1 @,@ 800 km ² , and research has emphasized the density of the population centers .
