This picturesque set of terraces, long stairways and stone canals is
located 20 km south of the city. Evidence suggests that Tipon was
part of a royal hacienda belonging to Inca Yahuar Huaca, as well as
a place of worship and agricultural research. An outstanding is the
sense of harmony in the channeling of water via stone structures
including aqueducts (some of which are underground), waterfalls and
gullies, indicating the Incas' knowledge of hydraulics.
