– WAREHOUSES: Colcas or warehouses at the entrance of the agricultural area, are located in a staggered manner.

– THE SECTORS OF THE INKA CITADEL: The Inca Empire came to carry out an extraordinary work of architecture that can still be seen in the ruins of Machu Picchu.

– SUN TEMPLES: The Temple of the Sun is located in the urban sector and can be accessed through a huge gate built with double beams which had a closing mechanism as a protection and security measure. Most experts agree that this would have been an important temple in Machu Picchu, that is, the shrine to the sun. F. Kauffman proposed that this structure known as “El Torreón” would have been a “cult construction, curved, perhaps alluding to the sea snail (Strombus) with which water was evoked”.
