Inkilltambo, Archaeological site in San Sebastian District, Peru
The granite complex contains five carved niches, agricultural terraces, aqueducts, and drainage systems integrated into the natural rock formation.
Construction began during Inca Wiracocha's reign between 1420 and 1438, with subsequent expansions by Pachacutec to enhance religious practices.
The name derives from Quechua words 'Inkill' meaning garden or flowery place, and 'Tambo' signifying inn, reflecting its original purpose.
Access requires taking public transport from Recoleta Avenue followed by a one-hour walk through marked paths to reach the entrance.
The central courtyard features a three-colored rock formation with yellow, red, and gray tones, containing an opening used for astronomical observations.
