A complex of ancient Inca platforms, a storeroom and a ceremonial court were unearthed while maintenance and preservation works were underway at Ollantaytambo archaeological park in the southern Peruvian region of Cuzco, officials said.

The archeological remains were discovered by guards and conservation workers at the Peñas archaeological site near the road leading to Abra Malaga and Quillabamba, the Culture Ministry's Decentralized Culture Directorate of Cuzco said.

The find occurred in a rocky area totally covered by lush vegetation, archaeologist and park manager Oscar Montufar said.

The platforms covering approximately 5 hectares (12 acres) were built with different heights and lengths, and have cantilevered stairs and built-in stairways leading from one platform to the next.
