    In Qenqo you can find several spaces in little space. There you can find a large stone with carvings that make you think it is a ceremonial space. As well as tunnels with constructions that still cannot be explained correctly.

    Puka Pukara

    It's considered a military fort. It has the presence of some spaces with finely carved stones and also walkery. This Inca site allows you to appreciate beautiful landscapes and have a strong relationship with Tambomachay.

    Tambomachay

    It seems to be a large and extensive place dedicated to water. That is, a ceremonial temple to worship water. This is because it has Inca constructions with finely carved stones, as in the main temples of Cusco and Machu Picchu.
