Quispiguanca, Archaeological site in Cusco, Peru
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.
