Amaru Marka Wasi, Archaeological site near Cusco, Peru.

Amaru Marka Wasi is an archaeological site north of the city of Cusco, in Cusco Province and District, Peru. It lies east of Sacsayhuamán, south of Tambomachay and Puka Pukara, and near Qenko. Its name combines Quechua amaru (snake), marka (village) and wasi (house); it is also called Salunniyuq, Salunpunku, Laqu or Templo de la Luna.

The site was possibly the residence of Amaru Yupanqui, also called Amaro Tupac, eldest son of Pachakutiq Inka Yupanki. It lies north of Cusco, east of Sacsayhuamán and near Qenko, within the Inca heartland.

The name comes from Quechua and means 'House of the Serpent', referring to a deity in local cosmology. It was part of a wider system of sacred sites that connected Cusco and hosted regular ceremonies.

The best time to visit is early morning when light clearly illuminates the stone structures and paths are less slippery. Good fitness is needed as the ascent is steep and the high altitude can be tiring.

The site is also called Salunniyuq, Salunpunku, Laqu or Templo de la Luna (Temple of the Moon), names that point to a lunar rather than solar association. It lies just east of Sacsayhuamán and near Qenko, within the cluster of Inca remains north of Cusco.
