PUKA PUKARA

This archaeological complex is situated 7 km/4 miles
northeastern Cusco (20 minutes by car and 2 hours on
foot). The complex contains several rooms, inner plazas,
aqueducts, vantage points, and pathways. It might have
served as a tambo or resting and lodging area. According
to the tale, each time the Inka was able to go to
Tambomachay, he would be accompanied by a large
cortege, which stayed at Puka Pukara.
