Its name comes from the quechua words which means ‘’Red Fortress’’. Puca Pucara or Pukapukara got this name due to the red granite it was constructed with.

Tambomachay was one of the Inca monuments where water was worshiped. Such is the majesty of Inca work that to this day, five hundred years later, water continues to circulate there.

It is one of the most visited archaeological sites in Cusco along with the Coricancha, Sacsayhuaman, Qenqo and Pucapucara.
