Stop At: Pucapucara, Cusco 08003, Peru

Puka Pukara had specific military purposes, it was the entry checkpoint to the city of Cusco, “The capital of the Empire”, but it also served as “tambo” (resting place) for the chaskis that carried messages or parcels from town to town. On the hillside they stored dehydrated products; thanks to the strong winds, the products could be stored for longer in a kind of refrigerator.

Duration: 30 minutes

Stop At: Tambomachay, Cusco Peru

Tambomachay was a worship center of water. The Incas asked the gods that the rains arrive for their crops and these become fertile; this is why this center is known by some as “The Temple of Fertility”. It is impressive that, despite the passage of time, there is still crystal water running through its aqueducts. The Incas used their wit to channel water from a small waterfall and divide it into 2 waterfalls. The legend says that if women drink from these waters they can easily conceive; if the water comes from the right side of the fall, they will have a male child and if it comes from the left side, it is a female. Tambomachay had restricted access for the town population, only the Inca and his entourage could use its facilities.
