Peru’s National Institute of Culture completed the restoration of an important Inca’s administrative and ceremonial center, which is known as Watoqto, in the Cusco’s province of Paucartambo.
The archaeological center is located in the lands of the Inca Páucar peasant community, district of Colquepata.
Watoqto houses architectural buildings of fine finish, located on an elongated hill in a rock outcrop. It is composed of three sectors that have rectangular and square enclosures of different sizes.
In addition, this has a waca or Inca worship place, surrounded by walls in its central part, besides platforms or terraces and retaining walls of four or five meters of height.
Rómulo Hinojosa Carreño, resident archaeologist of the works, said that restoration
was strengthened in the retaining walls of the lower side, which were the most affected by the course of time.
During Incas’ times, the archaeological complex was an administrative and ceremonial center of the political region of Antisuyo, route towards the zone of Cosñipata, where producer farms of coca plants were located by that time.
