First, for the trek to Tecsecocha Cliffs, you have to travel to the community of Corca, about 23 km from the city of Cusco, at about 3600 m.a.s.l. About 50 minutes approx. Likewise, this site combines history and beautiful landscapes. We can find:
A waterfall 50 m high.
Cave Paintings from more than 1000 B.C.
Pre-Inca and Inca cemetery.
Adventure sports.
What was, or what are, the Tecsecocha Cliffs?
Studies were carried out on this site in the 20th century. Giving, as a result, that it already had human occupation since before the Incas. All this can be verified thanks to the cave paintings that are more than 2000 thousand years old. Already in the Inca era, they had a more mystical and religious use, as they were used as a cemetery or resting place for important Inca leaders. That is why you can see these bone remains, which are accompanied by offerings that are left by local people and some tourists: (beer, coca leaf, sweets, etc.)
What can you see on the Trek To Tecsecocha Cliffs?
The falls:
You can see this waterfall of more than 50 m high from the rock formation, it ends in a chacana-shaped sculpture (Andean Cross). Which represents the Andean trilogy, as well as the 3 worlds in the Andean worldview: Hanan Pacha (Condor), Kay Pacha (Puma), Uku Pacha (Amaru).
Inca cemetery:
Around the complex, we can find vestiges of a considerable cemetery, which was taken over by the Incas between 1100 and 1534 AD. Likewise, the presence of Inca roads, suggest the importance of the site in its time.
Paintings:
These paintings are located 15 minutes from the town of Ccorca and are more than 2000 years old. These figures show the representation of South American camelids, which required food for the first men who inhabited this site.
