Mawk'allaqta, Archaeological site in Espinar Province, Peru

Mawk'allaqta is an archaeological site in the Cusco Region, on the border of the Coporaque and Suykutambo districts of Espinar Province. It lies at 3,915 metres (12,844 ft) on the banks of the Hank'amayu and the Apurímac River.

The site dates to the Inca period when it served as a settlement in the Espinar region. It reflects architectural developments connected to the Inca territorial expansion across these highland areas.

The name is Quechua: mawk'a, ancient, and llaqta, place, village or town, so Mawk'allaqta means "ancient place". The sources also record the hispanicized spellings Maukallacta, Maukallaqta and Mauk'allaqta, the forms most often seen on maps and signs. The site lies where the Hank'amayu meets the Apurímac River, on the border of the Coporaque and Suykutambo districts.

Reaching the site requires advance coordination with local authorities and traveling through challenging mountain terrain in Espinar Province. Visitors should prepare for the thin air at this elevation and bring appropriate gear for mountain trekking.

Mawk'allaqta lies right on the border of the Coporaque and Suykutambo districts, where the Hank'amayu meets the Apurímac River. The Quechua name combines mawk'a, "ancient", with llaqta, "place", and is also written Maukallacta or Maukallaqta in Hispanicized spelling.
