Overview
Wakapukara
On one of the eastern cliffs of the canyon of the Apurimac River, which is the main river that forms the Amazon River.
From that height it is wonderful to be part of nature, where every drop of sweat and effort is insignificant before the ancestral oracle of the Inkas, all the fascinating walls of the canyon will welcome you and if you pay attention you will see the immortal guardians, Wakapukara has a touch of magic.
The magic of what once was is enclosed in ruins but the natural environment could not be destroyed by the invaders (1532 AD. ) who tried to destroy all evidence of Inkan greatness, they even wanted to change the name to wagrapucara alluding to horns for 2 huge rocks on the top, if you look closely the horns are not aesthetic nor were there bulls in South America before the Spaniards to refer to those horn tips, in our language (runasimi, commonly called quechua), we refer to deer horns and they are totally different from bulls, waka refers to oracle and this is an invitation to come to this little visited place.
