Wiracocha Temple: Why Go

Wiracocha Temple

The temple of Wiracocha is part of a larger archaeological complex called "Raqchi" This archaeological complex is located around 3 hours from Cusco, near the main route to Puno and Lake Titicaca. It is 3,460m above sea level on the slopes of the volcano "Quimsachata".


Despite most of the visible buildings in this complex dating to the Incan period (1450-1532), the occupation of the area appears to date back much further. Archaeological investigations found evidence of dwellings here dating back as far as 200 B.C. in the style of the ancient "Qaluyu-Marcavalle" culture. Many Incan and pre-Incan artifacts from many different civilizations such as the Wari (700-1100 A.D.) and the Collao and Inca-Collao (1100-1450).
