Santa Teresa, Peru
A previously unknown Inca settlement, Quriwayrachina, Quri Wayrachina, or Qoriwayrachina (Quechua quri gold, wayrachina a special oven for smelting metal, "oven for smelting gold"), was found in the Willkapampa mountain range in the Cusco Region of Peru in 2001. The site lies in the Santa Teresa Dis
trict of the La Convención Province, north of the archaeological site of Choquequirao and west of the mountains Kiswar and Quriwayrachina (Corihuayrachina), on a mountain named Victoria. Close to nearby ancient Inca mines, the surrounding hills are covered with the littered stones from more than 200 structures in this Inca outpost.
