This imposing structure was built with colossal blocks of limestone, some with astonishing weights ranging from 25 to 130 tons. Comprising three superimposed terraces in a serpentine arrangement (zigzag), its breadth and grandeur made it a meeting point for various festivities, such as WARACHIKUY and INTI RAYMI.
