About 15 minutes outside of Cusco, our first stop for the day was Tambomachay, an archaeological site associated with the Inca Empire.
The site consists of a series of aqueducts, canals and waterfalls that run through the terraced rocks. The function of the site is uncertain: it may have served as a military outpost guarding the approaches to Cusco, as a spa resort for the Incan political elite, or both.
