Ñusta Hisp'ana, Archaeological site in Cusco Region, Peru.
The archaeological complex features a prominent carved white rock formation called Yurac Rumi along with nine stone seats and ritual bathing areas.
Explorer Hiram Bingham III documented the discovery of Ñusta Hisp'ana on August 9, 1911, during his expeditions through the Vilcabamba Valley.
The name combines Quechua word 'Ñusta' meaning princess with 'ispana' referring to a basin, suggesting ceremonial importance in Inca traditions.
Visitors can reach the site through Huancacalle village in the La Convención Province, situated at coordinates 13°6′42″S and 72°55′27″W.
The archaeological site contains evidence of religious conflicts, where Augustinian monks burned the Temple of the Sun during Titu Cusi's absence.
