About
Tarahuasi is an archaeological site located in the Limatambo District of the Anta Province in the Cusco Region, Peru. The name possibly derives from the Quechua terms for 'tara,' a small tree native to Peru, and 'wasi,' meaning house. This suggests the site may have served as a habitation area. The site's historical significance lies in its connection to the Classical Period, specifically the Late Classical Period, when it may have been constructed or occupied. While detailed archaeological features and specific historical timelines of Tarahuasi remain limited, its association with domestic and habitation structures suggests it could have been a residential or community area during its time of use.
