Tipon was a center for the
worship of water. The irrigation system was unusual in
that it featured deep, vertical channels in the terrace
walls. The system was fed by a natural spring from the
sacred mountain known as Pachatusan which flows to this
day.
PIQUILLAQTA:
This is a huge sprawling
site, interesting because it is the only ruin of a pre-Inca
city in the Cusco region. It is attributed to the Wari
culture, which emerged in the central highlands near
present-day Ayacucho, flourished around 1000 AD, and may
ultimately have been overwhelmed by the Incas.
ANDAHUAYLILLAS:
Rumicolca” was once the
gigantic stone gateway to the Cusco valley, and we pass
through the narrow valley it guards on our way to the
village of Andahuaylillas, whose famous colonial church
is known as the “Sistine Chapel of the Americas” because
of its beautiful painted ceiling and other art
treasures.
