Killarumiyuq, Archaeological site near Anta, Peru

Located in the Cusco Region, Killarumiyuq features stone structures including terraces, niches, and altars across a hillside overlooking the surrounding valley.

The site was constructed during the Inca Empire period and served as a ceremonial center dedicated to Mama Killa, the moon goddess of agriculture and fertility.

The name Killarumiyuq comes from Quechua language elements: killa meaning moon, rumi meaning stone, and yuq indicating possession or ownership.

Visitors can reach the archaeological site from Anta, and guided tours provide detailed information about the stone structures and water management systems.

The stone carvings and architectural elements at Killarumiyuq demonstrate the connection between Inca astronomical observations and their agricultural practices.
