An Inca archaeological site near Sipe Sipe in Bolivia's Cochabamba Department, Quillacollo Province, near the community of Linku. The name means "Inca ruin" or "storehouse" in Quechua, reflecting its function as a major storage facility within the Inca tribute system. The site contains remains of stone buildings including houses, storage areas, and possibly temples, constructed without mortar in characteristic Inca style. Declared a National Archaeological Monument in 2006 and Historical and Cultural Heritage of Bolivia in 2012. It is still used today for Willkakuti, the Andean-Amazonic New Year celebration.
