Uyo Uyo

A pre-Inca stone-house village ruin on the hillside opposite Yanque, where dozens of stone walls and terraces still stand.

Uyo Uyo is an ancient village site of the Collagua or Cabana people, later used by the Incas. The hillside still preserves dozens of circular and square stone house walls, water channels and terraces, and some houses have been restored to their original appearance. From Yanque, cross the suspension bridge over the Colca River and walk uphill for about 1 hour, enjoying views of the valley terraces along the way. On the return, you can soak in a small hot spring by the river. Visitors are few, making it a good stop for independent travelers staying in the valley.
