Tipon


An Inka Period site apparently dedicated to water. It´s a bowl worked into terracing and canals to the east of Cusco.



Some of the scary steps the Inka often built into taller terraces. I´m short, but they were shorter and I have a heck of a time getting down those.

Baths.
Canals and baths.
And more canals.
A temple area? Nothing substantial is really published on the site, but this area has fine ashlars that are typically used to identify ceremonial sectors.


And finally, some very fancy canal-bath business.
