We will have the opportunity to walk through the streets of the city and thus have a clear idea of how this military, religious and cultural center was during the Inca Empire.
Inca astronomical center, this wonderful place is formed by groups of platforms and architectural structures scattered on the slopes and at the top of the mountain.
