Location
Tipon is a a set of terraces locates about 30km South-west of Cusco, along the Cusco-Puna road.
What is here
This complex is an Inca site. What is important about this site, is that part form stunning terraces, there is also a largely intact and working Inca irrigation system that captures the water the a spring above the terraces and channels it into a number of irrigation-drainage channels.
Archeologists think that just like the Maras-Moray site, this set of terraces was also a crop adaptation and hybridisation site.
