Kenko or Q’inqu

Kenko is a one of the largest wa’kas (holy sites) in the Sacred Valley where sacrifice and mummification may have taken place. 

A classic Inka wall layed out in a semi circular pattern faces an unfinished stone puma carving located above ground. 

Behind this area are huge grey rocks that conceal a cave with a large ‘sacrificial’ altar.
