LocationCusco, Peru

Tipón is a sprawling early fifteenth-century Inca archaeological site that is situated between 3,250 metres and 3,960 metres above sea level, located 22 kilometres southeast of Cusco near the village of Tipón.

It consists of several ruins enclosed by a powerful defensive wall about 6 kilometres long. The most renown 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.
