Most of my knowledge on this subject comes from SunkenCiv and Blam and other FR threads, but it was also touched upon in the book 1492.
There are ongoing excavation efforts going on to reveal more of this civilizatoin, the Peruvian goverment has plans to create a new Machu Picchu type tourist draw out of the area.

The largest quake ever recorded, a 9.5, happened there in 1960.
