The site of old Yungay (Yungay Viejo), Campo Santo is marked by a towering white statue of Christ standing on a knoll and overlooking the path of the aluvión . Flower-filled gardens top the hill, with occasional gravestones and monuments commemorating the thousands of people who lie buried beneath the 8m to 12m of soil. A replica of the cathedral’s facade has been built in honor of the dead.
