Wayna Q'inti, Archaeological site near Willkanuta River, Peru
The archaeological site features stone structures on terraced agricultural land along the Willkanuta River at an elevation of 2,250 meters above sea level.
The Inca civilization constructed Wayna Q'inti as part of their network of settlements in the Sacred Valley, demonstrating their advanced urban planning capabilities.
The name of this archaeological complex derives from Quechua language words wayna and q'inti, which together form the meaning young hummingbird.
Access to the site requires coordination with local guides and proper equipment for hiking through the Sacred Valley's varying weather conditions.
The location stands near three other archaeological sites: Machu Q'inti, Willkaraqay, and Patallaqta, forming a cluster of ancient Inca settlements.
