Urco Archaeological Site

Urqo’s carved water stone, terraces and circular enclosure lie outside Calca. It is a quieter site for visitors already exploring this valley section.

Urco Archaeological Site

Why go

The carved channel and rock make water a concrete theme here, while the enclosures show a broader settlement area. It complements the Inkariy Museum near Calca without duplicating a museum visit. A focused visit can take in the worked stone and circular structure.

What to look for

  • A circular stone enclosure and terraces stand near Calca.

Useful to know

  • The mapped site point marks the enclosures and carved rock, not a signed entrance; Urqo spans multiple sectors.
