Huaca de Chena, Archaeological site in San Bernardo, Chile
Located on Chena Mountain, this fortified complex contains nine enclosures surrounded by two stone walls at different elevation levels.
Built during the Inca Empire expansion, this structure marks the southernmost point of Inca influence in South America during the 15th century.
The design of the complex mirrors the shape of a puma, reflecting the Inca practice of incorporating animal forms into architectural layouts.
The archaeological site opens for guided tours, allowing visitors to examine the remaining stone structures and learn about Inca construction methods.
Research indicates the site functioned as an astronomical observatory, with structures aligned to track solstices and equinoxes for agricultural calendars.
