QOSQO PROJECT
THE SECRET OF THE ANDES
The QOSQO PROJECT is an initiative for research and archaeological excavation in the city of Cusco with the objective of accessing the large underground Incan and pre-Incan structures beneath the city and within the Saqsaywaman archaeological complex. The studies and research conducted over the past 23 years (2000-2023), along with the archaeological excavations carried out between 2000 and 2003 at the Temple of the Sun of the Incas (Koricancha), as well as at the Solar Citadel of Saqsaywaman, specifically in the sectors of the Baluartes, Rodadero-Suchuna, and Collaconcho (Piedra Cansada) during the years 2001-2002, have provided us with valuable evidence supporting the existence of underground structures in this Andean UKHU PACHA (inner world of the Andes). This includes the precise identification of the great «Chinkana» (tunnel) that connects Koricancha with Saqsaywaman, approximately 1.2 kilometers long, traversing the entire city of Cusco and ending in the extensive labyrinths of Saqsaywaman. The goal of all these works is the opening of this Andean AXIS MUNDI, the recovery of the sacred gold and silver pieces of the Incas stored in these labyrinths, and the revelation of the mysteries held within this Navel of the World, the most significant heritage of the Children of the Sun.
