Inkallajta
Inkallaqta
The largest Inca fortress on the southeastern frontier of the Inca Empire. Its giant great hall, the Kallanka, was one of the largest single roofed structures in the Americas.
Inkallaqta was a military and ceremonial center built by the Inca Empire in the 15th century on its southeastern frontier. It lies in a valley about 130 kilometers by road east of Cochabamba. The site preserves the remains of the 78-meter-long great hall, the Kallanka, which is considered one of the largest single roofed structures in pre-Columbian America. Other features include city walls, plazas, and astronomical observation structures. Few tourists visit, and transportation is inconvenient, so it is best to hire a car or join a day tour. Admission is about 20 bolivianos.
