K'allapayuq Urqu, Archaeological site in Ayacucho Region, Peru.
K'allapayuq Urqu stretches across 10 hectares at an elevation of 3,935 meters in the Andes mountains between Uskhuqucha and Anchiway communities.
The archaeological remains at K'allapayuq Urqu reveal evidence of the Chanka civilization, which controlled this region prior to Spanish colonization.
The name originates from Quechua language, where k'allapa means stretcher and urqu means mountain, reflecting the indigenous heritage of the area.
The site is located at coordinates 13°01'34"S and 73°45'18"W, accessible through guided visits arranged through the Peruvian Ministry of Culture.
