DESCRIPTION OF THE PLACES TO VISIT
  • Cocalmayo: Located next to the Urubamba River and a small mountain, this is the perfect spot for visitors on the journey to enjoy a well-deserved break in these pools fed by natural thermal springs, surrounded by diverse vegetation. There are three pools of different sizes with temperatures between 38 and 44 ºC. There are also cold showers with water coming from the Uripata lagoon, providing a refreshing experience.

Machupicchu: Explore the most iconic corners of Machu Picchu, where each structure tells a unique story. From the impressive Guardian’s House to the enigmatic Condor Temple. The places we will visit in our experience may vary depending on the type of ticket and circuit we choose. However, the most important points we will explore on the circuits are the following:

  • Guardián’s House: Located in the highest area of the Inca citadel, its purpose was to oversee access and control the agricultural and urban areas. It offers a panoramic view of the citadel and the ancient Inca Trail. With three walls and wide windows in the central area, it used to have roofs made of ichu grass.
  • Llacta Punku: Functioned as the entrance to the urban sector, marked by a deep excavation. It connects from the cemetery to the peripheral neighborhoods via an extensive staircase. It had a point system to secure a wooden door, although it wasn’t a security measure as access to the city could be gained through other routes.
  • Ceremonial Plaza: Comprised of enclosures around a square courtyard, it stands out for its polygonal walls and precise assembly of stone pieces. Notably, it features three windows and two niches on each side, presumably serving a religious function. Adjacent to this area is a distinct enclosure known as the Priest’s House.
  • Temple of the Sun: A finely polished two-story structure, with a semi-subterranean section and a prominent semicircular wall on the second level. It was used for religious ceremonies, especially during the solstices in June and December. The tower’s windows align with the winter and summer solstices.
  • Temple of the Three Windows: Noteworthy for its three polygonal walls and three windows on each end. It had both a magical-religious and aesthetic function, and numerous ceramic objects and a possible carved figure of a llama were discovered.
  • Main Temple: An imposing structure with three walls, each piece meticulously crafted. The central wall stands out at a dimension of 11 meters. Behind it is another enclosure, possibly for religious use, with stones showing up to 32 angles, giving it an enigmatic significance.
  • Intihuatana: Located in one of the highest areas of the Urban Zone, it’s a monumental sculpture carved into a 66 cm tall column. Related to the sun and mountains, it served to interpret the sun’s movement during different periods of the year.
  • Sacred Rock: A carved stone resembling a mountain, strategically placed on the path to Huayna Picchu Mountain. It features two huayrana-type spaces, tall and opposing roofs. Its location is crucial as it sits along the path to significant sites like Huayna Picchu and the Temple of the Moon.
  • Water Mirrors: Refers both to the enclosure where they’re located and the structures on-site. It was a broad area with a single access door, attributed as an Acllahuasi or House of Select Women dedicated to spinning, cooking, and preparing chicha for the elite.
  • Condor Temple: Constructed utilizing irregular forms and over a cave that was used ceremonially. The condor was a revered animal in Inca times and was associated with the divinity of the mountains. The complex presents a variety of enclosed and open environments distributed across one and two levels.
  • Water Sources: The complex boasts an impressive staircase alongside 16 meticulously crafted waterfalls, fed by a spring in the heights of Machu Picchu. Channels skillfully carved in polygonal blocks and another channel at the summit collect rain filtrations and direct them to the main channel.
