Machu Pitumarka, Archaeological site in Canchis Province, Peru.
Machu Pitumarka stands at 3,465 meters above sea level on a hill northeast of Pitumarka town, near the Ch'illkamayu River south bank.
The archaeological complex, built between the 15th and 16th centuries, originated with the pre-Inca Canchis culture before the Inca occupation period.
The site features Pirca architectural style with dry-stone construction methods, displaying three distinct sectors that reveal ancient settlement patterns.
Visitors reach the archaeological site through a road connecting from the locality of Checacupe in the Cusco Region.
The archaeological complex sits near the snow-covered Ausangate mountain, creating a geographical connection between natural and constructed landscapes.
