Marayniyuq, Archaeological site in Huanta, Peru.
The Marayniyuq archaeological complex features ancient stone terraces and hydraulic systems nestled within the mountainous landscapes of the Ayacucho region.
This Wari settlement, established between 600 and 1000 CE, served as a significant administrative center for agricultural production in the Andean highlands.
Traditional Quechua agricultural methods and water management techniques developed at Marayniyuq continue to influence modern farming practices in the region.
