Cusco's Chincanas, a Not-So-Hidden Secret, Chetaqaqa: Part 1

The truth about Cusco's Chincanas is not a rumor—it's an open secret! In this first episode, we explore the Chetaqaqa Waka, a stunning, mysterious ancient site built right next to a main road. We uncover evidence of tunnel cover-ups and the mind-blowing megalithic work hidden in plain sight. For centuries, the vast underground tunnel system known as the Chincanas was dismissed as a myth. However, as author Camille Save, I show undeniable proof that these sites have been known to locals and are visible in the foothills above Cusco. This is Part 1 of a new series examining these cave systems and wakas (sacred sites). At the Chetaqaqa Waka, we explore the megalithic rock, find the Inca-era cover-ups of tunnel entryways, and step inside a spectacular inner chamber still used for traditional ceremonies. We also question the official narrative: How could the Inca have carved and vitrified this extremely hard stone (metamorphosed limestone and andesite) with only bronze tools? The truth about Peru's ancient architects is beneath the surface.
