Tambomachay Water Temple

{tab=Site Description}
Tambomachay is an Inca site a short distance from Pukapukara that dates from the year 1500. It had a religious function honoring water as a vital part of agriculture and regeneration of the earth. The monument consists of three sectors: the fountains, where you can appreciate waterways and platforms on several levels, the canals, and finally the agricultural sector that is a collection of platforms used to control irrigation. These areas are connected to each other by a series of pathways called “sarunas.”
