This site dates back to the 15th century when it was the royal estate of Inca Emperor Pachacuti who conquered the region and built the town and a ceremonial center. This is Temple Hill, built for religious purposes but also consisting of agricultural terraces made from cut and fitted stone. The Sun Temple is located at the top with the Wall of Six Monoliths. My husband and I climbed about halfway up and called it good enough.
