The archeological complex of Tarawasi is located in the district of Limatambo, providence of Anta (Cusco region), to the left of the Limatambo river and 2675 meters above the sea level. Its name comes from the union of two runasimi words “Inca Language”, which would be: "Tara" that means bush and the second one is "Wasi" that means home.
The construction of this complex would have been by Inka Pachacuteq mandate during the epoch of his reign. Due to the structure of the archaeological complex was indicated that was a ceremonial center that is located in the beginnings of Chinchaysuyo, also it is observed the construction a temple which would be found seated on the Ushnu.

The experience was once in a lifetime. We hiked, explored, and learned about the history of the Machu Picchu ruins. Percy was great at answering questio s and guiding us thru the experience. The porters were helpful with an amazing positive energy. I'd highly recommend anyone to experience the Inca Trail with Percy and his team.

I had the most amazing experience with Percy on the Inka trail. A group of friends and I did the 4 day tour and we were kept in the loop and very well informed about what to expect on the hike. He was with us the whole time and had an amazing crew that clapped for us every time we finished part of the hike. We had amazing food considering we were camping and in the middle of nowhere. Percy is tremendously passionate about what he does and the Inka culture. I bonded with him and his crew on a lever I would have never expected. Highly recommend them for this trail and Percy specifically to take care of you while you’re here
