Tarawasi, also known as Tarahuasi, is an archaeological complex in Peru. Located in the Cusco region, Anta province, Limatambo district, approximately 72-80 km from the city of Cusco, it is one of the finest examples of Inca stone construction. It is characterized by its precise polygonal stonework, where the stones fit together perfectly without any binding material.
Tarawasi was built during the reign of the Inca king Pachacuti (Pachacuteq) (c. 1438–1471) and was once an important ceremonial and religious center. It features two ceremonial platforms, with trapezoidal niches in the walls intricately carved in a pattern of panels or cushions. These niches are adorned with images of flower petals formed by their combination.

Nazca Lines
Place » Historical Place

The Nazca lines are a group of over 700 geoglyphs made in the soil of the Nazca Desert in southern Peru. They were created between 500 BC and 500 AD by people making depressions or shallow incisions in the desert floor, removing pebbles and leaving different-colored dirt exposed. The Nazca Lines were slowly revealed, piece by piece, as technology and curiosity caught up with what the desert had been quietly holding for centuries.
