An archaeological site in Peru's Cusco Region, Urubamba Province, situated southeast of Patallacta above the right bank of the Pampa Qhawa river near Chamana village. The site consists of 5 groups comprising 34 structures and served as a checkpoint along the Inca Trail. Its name derives from Quechua: willka (sacred, divine) and raqay (house, shed). Despite its association with the Inca Trail, the site corresponds primarily to the pre-Inca period.
