Tipón
Tipón, located east of Cusco, are Inca ruins which may have been a park for the upper class or an agricultural centrum. Even today water rushes through the channels, and the wide terraces are in perfect condition. Several surrounding ruins have been excavated, and many more are visible below the soil.
Description
The Tipon complex is located near Oropesa in the Community of Choquepeda, 30 km southeast of Cusco and along the Cusco-Puno road. It contains enclosures, terraces and an intact canal. The upper complex is crossed by the Inca Trail with an irrigation canal.
The site was probably used as a laboratory of agricultural products because of the various micro-climates found within the complex. Tipon is considered one of the 16 most important archaeological tours for tourists who visit the area.
Besides being an archaeological complex, the site is home to one of the largest irrigation works in the terraces, with a great distribution of outdoor water channels.

You Light Up My Life
by: Debby BooneSo many nights
I'd sit by my window,
Waiting for someone
To sing me his song.
So many dreams
I've kept deep inside me.
Alone in the dark
But now you've come along.
(Chorus):
And you
Light up my life.
You give me hope
To carry on.
You light up my days
And fill my nights
With song.
Rolling at sea,
Adrift on the waters.
Could it be finally
I'm turning for home?
Finally, a chance
To say, "Hey, I love you,"
Never again
To be all alone.
(Chorus x2)
It can't be wrong,
When it feels so right.
'Cause you...
You light up my...
