TAMBOMACHAY

Apparently, Tambomachay was one of the favorite resting-places of the Incas, used as a resting watering place and, at the same time, it was one of the pillars of the defense system of the Valley of Cusco.

It is composed by a set of stone structures finely carved, aqueducts and water falls, originated by near springs and thermal sources; that is why people think it was related to the worship of water, one of the pillars of the Andean conception of the world. It is considered one of the Indian temples of the first Antisuyo.

According to the chronicles, it was the preserve area of the Inca Yupanqui, which makes us think that it was an area rich in animal species.
