Ñusta Hispana Ñusta Ispanan (also written Ñusta Ispana), previously known as Chuquipalta (possibly from Quechua chuqi precious metal, p'allta plane) is an archaeological site in Peru. It is located at Vilcabamba, La Convención Province, Cusco Region. A carved rock on the site is known as Yurac Rumi (White Rock). Hiram Bingham III discovered the site on 9 Aug. 1911. Bingham noted that the Augustinian monks Friar Marcos and Friar Diego, led their converted natives in burning down the Temple of the Sun, and scorching the rock itself, when Titu Cusi was absent.
