Raqchi - Wiracocha Temple
117 km / 73 miles from Cuzco (2 hours by car - Route Cuzco to Puno) Built in the fifteenth century, it is considered by the historians to be one of the most audacious Inca constructions. The remarkable Wiracocha temple, 100 meters (328 feet) long and 20 meters (66 feet) wide is made of adobe walls built on top of volcanic stone foundations. The complex also includes a residential area made for the Inca nobles and dozens of circular warehouses to store food. (PromPeru)
