Uchkus Inkañan, Archaeological site in Huancavelica, Peru
The archaeological complex extends along the left bank of the Ichu River at an altitude of 3500 meters above sea level near Yauli District.
The site originated between 1200 BCE and 100 CE with early shepherds and farmers, later developing through the Anccaras culture from 1200 to 1440 CE.
The complex contains three sectors including Qorimina with agricultural terraces, Inkañan with astronomical observation structures, and Chunkana featuring water channels for constellation viewing.
Visitors can reach Uchkus Inkañan from Huancavelica by private car in 2 hours and 45 minutes or by public bus in 3 hours through mountain roads.
A 12-meter-deep mine shaft from the 17th century exists in the Qorimina sector, alongside rectangular agricultural terraces fed by irrigation channels.
