Tipon submitted by SolarMegalith : Part of the water-engineering system in Tipon (photo taken in July 2003). (Vote or comment on this photo)
Tipon archaeological site is one of finest, however not best known in Cuzco area. It includes very well preserved water-engineering system from Inca period and ruins of the agricultural terraces.

The site is possible to reach from Cuzco, but the trip usually takes whole day, especially when you want to see the remains of the buildings located over the terraces and water-engineering system.
