Iñaq Uyu, Archaeological site in Copacabana, Bolivia.
The stone structures of Iñaq Uyu stand on Isla de la Luna, surrounded by Lake Titicaca and agricultural terraces carved into hillsides.
Between 1000 and 1500 CE, Iñaq Uyu functioned as a residence for selected women who performed ceremonial duties and maintained Incan traditions.
The Temple of the Virgins of the Sun contains intricate stone carvings including the Chakana symbol, representing the connection between earth and celestial realms.
Visitors reach the archaeological site through boat services departing from Copacabana, with local guides available to explain the historical significance of the structures.
Women at Iñaq Uyu received education in agriculture, textile production, and healing practices before spreading this knowledge throughout the Incan Empire.
