ANCIENT TOWN OF HUCHUY QOSQO

A walk to the fascinating site where the Inca chief Viracocha lived. The mummy that was found here is said to be of him. The ruins are part stone and part adobe and of special interest is the presence of horizontal wooden braces inside the corners of some of the buildings. There is a fine `kallanka`, great hall, some 40m long, a great esplanade, where were held parades, and lots of terraces. Some of the houses are ‘post-inca’ , but in inca-style, and there is a Spanish-style reservoir.
