Inca archaeological site in San Sebastian District, Cusco, also known as Phaqchayoc, located about 8 km from Cusco's central plaza. The complex comprises several groups of Inca structures positioned at various points on a hillside, featuring agricultural terraces and circular walls encircling natural rock formations. Stonework exhibits uniform sizing and careful joint placement characteristic of Inca engineering. Part of the Parque Arqueologico de Sacsayhuaman. Some monuments have been restored, though many terrace walls remain unexcavated with vegetation accelerating deterioration.
