Uyu Uyu, Archaeological site in Caylloma Province, Arequipa Region, Peru.

Uyu Uyu is an archaeological monument in Yanque District, Caylloma Province, Arequipa Region, on the right bank of the Qullqa River at 3,570 metres above sea level, 2.5 km by paved road from the town of Yanque. It is made up of four sectors: two urban sectors, a cemetery and an agricultural sector.

Uyu Uyu was occupied by the Collaguas, the pre-Hispanic people of the Colca valley, and is divided into four sectors: two urban, one cemetery and one agricultural. It lies 2.5 km by paved road from the village of Yanque, at 3,570 m above sea level on the right bank of the Qullqa River.

Uyu Uyu was occupied by the Collaguas, the Andean group settled in this part of the Colca valley. The site is organised into four sectors: two urban sectors, a cemetery and an agricultural sector. The name comes from Aymara, where uyu means pen, yard or cemetery, and the doubling indicates a group of such spaces.

This site lies in a remote mountain area and requires planned travel from Arequipa along with adequate water and food supplies. Visitors should be prepared for changing mountain conditions and bring warm clothing.

The name Uyu Uyu comes from Aymara, where uyu means pen, yard or cemetery; the doubling signals a group or complex, so the name reads as "a complex of yards". The site is also spelled Uyo Uyo in Spanish. It lies on the right bank of the Qullqa River, 2.5 km by paved road from Yanque at 3,570 m.
