Inca Uyo Archaeological Site

In the Aymara language Inca Uyo means “dwelling or place of the Inca.” The site is well recognized for its Inca building style and its use of stone materials. Archaeological excavations took place at least twice in the 20th century, and from these it was learned that the ruins formed part of a major collection of ceremonial buildings. By analogy from other Inca sites in the Andes, archaeologists surmise that it was a destination for political and religious gatherings.
