Tambomachay

Tambomachay focuses attention on channels and fountains cut into a small Inca complex. It is a distinct water-focused stop on the northern Cusco circuit.

Tambomachay

Why go

Watching the water move through carefully fitted stone makes the engineering easier to grasp than a description can. Visit after Puka Pukara to compare two nearby sites with very different uses of walls, terraces and mountain terrain. The compact scale keeps the channel sequence readable.

What to look for

  • Water channels and fountains run through the stonework.

Useful to know

  • Take the short paired visit with Puka Pukara; check current site access before setting out.
