Abstract

In the last decade, we carried out the first planimetric and topographic survey of the important Incahuasi Archaeological Monument of Parinacochas, located on the shores of Lake Parinacochas at 3300 masl, in the southern part of Ayacucho, at that time we identified characteristics very similar to those of Inca sites like Tambo Real and Pirca Pirca associated with Pariacaca.

Several authors had pointed out the importance of the site, mainly based on the monumentality of the kallanca with the fine Inca cushioning, in addition to associating it with a strategic administrative and even religious function to be located and to associate to the cross-coastal road coming from Arequipa by the west And then with east direction to the mountain in association to the Nevado Sara Sara and then to the Cusco.
