Inka Misana

The Inka Misana complex features multiple carved niches, false doorways, and caves integrated into the cliffs alongside water fountain structures and aqueducts.

The site was constructed during the 15th century as part of Emperor Pachacuti's extensive renovation project to establish Ollantaytambo as a defensive stronghold.

The water management systems at Inka Misana demonstrate the advanced engineering methods of Inca civilization, integrating natural resources into their architectural designs.

The archaeological site connects to a network of pathways that lead to the main terraces of Ollantaytambo, allowing visitors to explore multiple Inca structures.

The stone structures incorporate channels from the Patacancha River, creating an integrated system of water fountains that remain functional to this day.
