Wiraqucha Pirqa, Ancient archaeological site in Huancavelica, Peru.
Wiraqucha Pirqa features stone structures and caves with paintings at an elevation of 3,781 meters in the Andean mountains.
The settlement contains remnants of pre-Hispanic communities, declared as National Cultural Heritage of Peru through ministerial resolution in 2013.
The name combines Quechua words meaning wall of Viracocha, reflecting the indigenous linguistic heritage of the region.
The archaeological site requires preparation for high altitude conditions, with access through the Quito-Arma District of Huaytara Province.
Natural stone formations intermingle with archaeological structures near Lake Paucarcocha, creating a combination of geological and human-made elements.
