T'uqu T'uquyuq

T'uqu T'uquyuq is an archaeological site with rock paintings in the Cusco Region of Peru, situated at about 3,150 metres on the slopes of Mount Saywa in the Urubamba Province, Yucay District. The Quechua name means "the one with a complex of niches," and the site is also known as Toco Tocoyoc or Machu Machuyuq. About 800 metres away lies Ayawayq'u, another rock art site. The paintings are part of a broader tradition of Andean rock art known as quilcas found throughout the Sacred Valley region.
