Tipon
This picturesque set of terraces, long stairways and stone canals is
located 20 km south of the city. Evidence suggests that Tipon was part
of a royal hacienda belonging to Inca Yahuar Huaca, as well as a place
of worship and agricultural research. An outstanding is the sense of
harmony in the channeling of water via stone structures including
aqueducts (some of which are underground), waterfalls and gullies,
indicating the Incas' knowledge of hydraulics. |
