Waqra Pukará (horn fortress) in Peru

Waqrapukara or Waqra Pukara (possibly from Quechua waqra horn, pukara fortress, “horn fortress”) is an archaeological site in Peru located in the Cusco Region

It was declared a National Cultural Heritage Site by the Ministry of Culture in July 2017. The building is said to be an Inca sanctuary.

At 4,140 m (13,580 ft) you seriously need to be acclimatized to make the 10k trek roundtrip.

BBC posted a trip report.

Check Puyca Expeditions to see how you could be guided to the remote site.
