Qenko
Date Added: 17th May 2015
Site Type: Ancient Temple
Country: Peru
Visited: Yes on 7th Apr 2015. My rating: Condition 4 Ambience 4 Access 4
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.
