Huaman Karpa

Huaman Karpa is associated with the Chanka people of the Andahuaylas region in the southern Peruvian Andes. Chanka communities occupied high valleys and hills west of Cuzco before their incorporation into the Inca realm. Later accounts remembered conflicts between the Chanka and the rising power of Cuzco. Nearby Sóndor, overlooking Lake Pacucha, preserves remains of occupation from Chanka and Inca times and shows the long history of settlement in this mountain country.
