Manko Inca and the Landscape of Cusco
Manko Inca or Manko Capac views the valley and asks one of his other brothers to fly over. So he turns into a bird and flies over into the valley, lands it at Cusco and turns into a stone,. Funnily enough you can still see this part of that particular myth reenacted at Machu Picchu. The landscape is seen as an animated structure so you have rivers running through it - metaphorically carrying blood and sperm.
