Wamanmarka, Pre-Hispanic archaeological site in Huayopata District, Peru.
The archaeological complex sits at an elevation of 3,600 meters in the Andes mountains, featuring extensive agricultural terraces and stone structures.
The National Institute of Culture designated Wamanmarka as a National Cultural Heritage site through Resolution 326/INC in October 1997.
The name Wamanmarka derives from Quechua language elements: waman meaning falcon and marka meaning village, reflecting local indigenous naming traditions.
Access to the site requires advance planning and proper equipment for high-altitude conditions, with guided tours available from the nearby Santo Tomás District.
The archaeological site contains preserved agricultural engineering systems that demonstrate advanced farming techniques used by pre-Columbian civilizations in highland environments.
