Vitis District

[1] Vitis has a small annex 42 kilometers from the center of town, named Chunuraran, which is inaccessible by road and is used by the townsfolk for their cows, llamas, and alpacas.

From Chunuraran as well as the path to the annex views of a small mini-chain of snow-covered mountains can be seen.

The origins of the people of the town of Vitis lie in its archaeological sites, Quchawasi (Cochashuasi, Cochaswasi) and Huallugina (or Huayllugina).

With claims to existence before the times of the Incan Empire, Quchawasi and Huallugina (or Huayllugina) are about an hour's walk from the town of Vitis and are composed of fallen houses as well as the remains of an old irrigation system.

The people of Vitis call Quchawasi "Mini Machu Picchu" because it is on top of a flat part of the mountain and two rivers can be seen from it, as is the case with Machu Picchu.
