Rumiwasi

Rumiwasi, also known as Phaqchayuq, is an intriguing archaeological site located in the Cusco Region of Peru. Known for its distinctive stone construction, the site is significant as a representation of domestic architecture in the region. Situated north of the central square of San Sebastián, Rumiwasi's name reflects its physical attributes—a 'stone house' near a waterfall. The site provides insights into the habitation practices of the area, likely dating back to the Post-Classical Period, particularly between the Early and Late Post-Classical Periods. The site's location and construction are of particular interest to archaeologists studying the architectural and cultural development of pre-Columbian Peru.
