Tipón

Tipón
Wasser in den Kanälen

Tipón ist eine Ruinenlandschaft bei Oropesa, einige Kilometer östlich von Cusco, Peru. Die Ruinen bestehen aus Gärten und Tempeln und stammen aus der Zeit der Inka. Besonders auffallend sind die zahlreichen Bewässerungsterrassen[1] und dekorativen Wasserfälle. Diese gelten als ingenieurtechnische Meisterleistung der Inkas.[2]

Die exzellent erhaltenen, breiten Terrassen sind aus rotem Gestein gemauert. Es handelt sich um exakt 12 Terrassen, welche die 12 Monate des Jahres symbolisieren. Neben den Terrassen sind einige Ruinen ausgegraben worden, aber noch sehr viele sind im Boden und nur zu erahnen.
