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.

Log Text: The place is on the shores of the Cernica lake. I found it by following a 1km dirt road. Park the car at the last house and follow the dirt road heading towards the lake. Turn left where it splits and keep looking for the cross on the right. Even if you miss it you are in the right place as the burial place covered the entire area.
