Quispiguanca

The archaeological site of Quispiguanca contains stone structures and agricultural terraces distributed across the hillside near the former Inca capital.

The complex originated between 1460 and 1530 during the expansion of the Inca Empire, serving as a strategic settlement near essential trade routes.

Excavations at Quispiguanca revealed artifacts including tools, pottery, and ceremonial objects that demonstrate the technological capabilities of Inca civilization.

The archaeological site operates under the supervision of the Peruvian Ministry of Culture, with guided tours available through local archaeological specialists.

Researchers continue to study the precise stone placement techniques used in Quispiguanca's construction, which demonstrate advanced engineering methods of the Inca period.
