Go there and contact
At 500 m from Saqsayhuamán, this important sanctuary is especially noteworthy for its construction torn from the cold granite. In the center of the amphitheater where nineteen niches are carved in the rock, a monolithic idol displays its feline form, symbol of fertility. Beneath the huge boulder is a sanctuary with a sacrificial altar and throne. On the summit, other seats and thrones surround a zigzagging channel, evoking lightning or a snake. All around are the terraces that the Incas and their predecessors used for cultivation.
