Q’enqo (Qenko)

Nestled nearly 12,000 feet (3,600 meters) above sea level, Q’enqo, or ‘labyrinth’ in Quechua, stands as a testament to Inca craftsmanship. This ancient temple, located near Cusco, Peru, is renowned for its intricate carvings on a single rock monolith. The zig-zagging channels etched into the stone were used for enigmatic death rituals, the full details of which remain a mystery. Today, visitors can explore these well-preserved carvings and ponder the spiritual significance they held for the Inca people.
