Tipón

Also known as Tipon

Tipón is a sprawling early fifteenth-century Inca archaeological site that is situated between and above sea level, located southeast of Cusco near the village of Tipón. It consists of several ruins enclosed by a powerful defensive wall about long. The most renowned (and easily accessible) part of the park is the group of precise and right angled monumental terraces irrigated by a network of water canals fed by a monumental fountain channeling water from a natural spring. The site includes ancient residential areas and a remarkable amount of petroglyphs in its upper part. thumb|400px|Tipón sk
