WAQRAPUKARA , is an archaeological complex in Acomayo, city of Cusco. At 4,300 meters above sea level, it was built by the Qanchis and later conquered by the Incas. It was declared in 2017 as Cultural Heritage of the Nation by the Ministry of Culture. The building would be an Inca sanctuary intended to worship their main deity the “God Teqsi Pachacamaq Wiraqocha” God of the Qanchis and is located on platforms, squares and a stone forest.
Waqra (horn), Pukara (fortress), or horn-shaped fortress. However, for the communities of Acos this fortress is known as Llamapukara, since they claim that the horns are actually the ears of a llama that remains alert in the presence of foreign people.
Waqrapukara Cusco, also an Inca sanctuary, means that it had great political and religious power. It consists of 2 groups: the first group is in the highest area of the building, there you can see two groups of enclosures separated by a fairly large central space and these in turn have passages, double jamb doorways and niches that function as ornaments and the second group is located in the lowest area and consists of 8 terraces 150 meters long and 2 meters high. Also, you can see two enclosures with double jambs and niches plus 5 enclosures that are located at the east end.
