Canto II: T’aqrachullo, the “Hidden Ithaca”
Every hero needs to find a mythical, epic, and little-explored destination. T’aqrachullo (María Fortaleza) is undoubtedly one of them. Surrounded by imposing canyons, T’aqrachullo is one of the fortresses that the Incas protected from the Spanish. With nearly 600 structures at the summit of T’aqrachullo, including temples, dwellings, funerary spaces, and more, this fortress stands as a hidden gem in the Andes. In addition, the researchers at María Fortaleza pointed out that there are still unexplored areas.
One of the most impressive features of T’aqrachullo is the breathtaking view from the summit and the spectacular landscapes of the Three Canyons of Suyckutambo.
