Qenko
Date Added: 2nd Feb 2013
Site Type: Ancient Temple
Country: Peru
Visited: Yes
Qenko submitted by Michelledubois on 11th Oct 2011. Near Cuzco is at a site called Qenqo, which is a monstrous rock all carved out with tunnels inside, and the whole upper surface is a maze of sculpted surfaces. The stone is andesite. The "thing" in this photo creates a perfect Puma head shadow 2 times a year. Nobody knows its true purpose.
