Pinkuylluna

The stone structures of Pinkuylluna rise along steep cliffs, featuring multiple levels of storage buildings with carefully constructed walls and passages.

Built during the 15th century Inca period, these granaries stored food supplies for the population of Ollantaytambo and acted as strategic reserves.

The name Pinkuylluna originates from the Quechua language, referencing the traditional Inca flute and the sound of wind moving through the structures.

Visitors can access the site through a free 1.1-kilometer trail starting near Ollantaytambo's center, with operating hours from 7:30 AM to 4:30 PM.

The storage buildings incorporate an ancient cooling system where wind channels through specific wall openings and underground spaces to preserve food supplies.
