The Condor Temple

This is a great collection of buildings, of somewhat irregular shape, that has been adapted to mould to the form of the rock. There are various caves that were used for rituals, and a great carved stone in which many see the representation of a Condor. At the south of the « condor » are located the elite’s lodgings, with their private fountain. Between these lodgings and the condor, were found the remains of installations necessary for the rearing of guinea-pigs.
