Curamba consists of various architectural structures in roughly rectangular shapes that jut out of the ground in the middle of the modern town of Ushno. Located in a corner of the main plaza, the site takes the form of a truncated pyramid that has three platforms with special characteristics that indicate a religious enclosure. The most notable sight at Curamba is a square monument with steps and embankments that must have been a sacrificial altar. Under the altar a small cave, or cell, has been hollowed out.
