Tipón
Monumental ConstructionDescription
Tipón is a monumental construction in Peru, South America.
Tipón is an Inca archaeological complex southeast of Cusco, known for its terraces and carefully organised water channels. The surviving hydraulic works show how flowing water, agricultural space and architecture were integrated within a planned landscape. The archaeological complex is attributed broadly to the early fifteenth century. This interval represents that approximate Inca phase rather than an independently established date for every terrace or water channel.
