About: Marpa, Peru

An Entity of Type: SpatialThing, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org

Marpa is a ruined pre-Hispanic town located along the Cotahuasi Canyon in the Andes range of southern Peru. The Cotahuasi River arises in the Wansu mountain range, cutting a route south-west and ending some 300 km later as the Ocoña River mouthing into the Pacific Ocean. Declared a "Zona Reserva Turistica" in 1988 very little is known about the canyon and Marpa. Rafting expeditions first ran the canyon in 1994. In pre-Hispanic times the Inca road along the canyon was well-used, and sections have survived, as have the ruins of agricultural terraces, staircases and ancient tombs. The Inca road may have been built along the route of an older road built by the Wari culture, a dominant force in the highlands of central and southern Peru between 500AD and 900AD.

dbo:abstract
  • Marpa​ es una ciudad prehispánica en ruinas ubicada a lo largo del Cañón de Cotahuasi, en la Cordillera de los Andes al sur de Perú.​ El río Cotahuasi nace en la Cordillera de Huanzo, cortando una ruta hacia el suroeste y terminando unos 300km más tarde como el río Ocoña introduciéndose en el Océano Pacífico. Declarada como "Zona Reserva Turística" en 1988 muy poco se sabe sobre el cañón y Marpa. Algunas expediciones recorrieron por primera vez el cañón en 1994. En la época prehispánica el camino Inca a lo largo del cañón era comúnmente utilizado, y sobrevivían secciones, al igual que las ruinas de terrazas agrícolas, escaleras y tumbas antiguas. El camino Inca pudo haber sido construido a lo largo de la ruta de un camino antiguo construido por la cultura Huari, una fuerza dominante en las tierras altas del centro y sur de Perú entre el 500 DC y el 900 DC.
