Tipon is a little known Inca
ruin complex some 40 minutes southeast
of Cuzco. It consists of a vast walled enclosure with some of
the most complex Inca drains, water works and baths, some of which
are still functioning. The location is superb with stupendous views
of the mountains and Valley. Uphill from the enclosure is a magnificent
Inca aqueduct. To visit the aqueduct entails a 2-3 hour hike. Perfect
for acclimatisation for a longer trek or just for a lovely day out,
far away from the crowds!
