Tipon
This is a National Archaeological Park located toward the east of Cusco; covering a territory of about 2200 hectares (5436 acres) in the Oropesa district, province of Quispicanchis. In order to get to the main archaeological monument there is a 5 km. (3 mile) dusty road from kilometer 18 (mile 11.2) of the Cusco-Puno road, towards the north wich crosses the "Watanay" rivulet. Most impressive is the irrigation system that is still used fpr agriculture and was made by taking advantage of an existing spring. It has carved stone channels, precisely calculated and sometimes with almost vertical falls that collectively constitute a hydraulic engineering master work. Likewise, there are some fountains that probably had ceremonial uses.
