Travel Agency Peru - Qenco -Cusco

http://www.fertur-travel.com/cusco_tours.html

The shrine at Qenqo is a short distance from Saqsayhuaman, both overlooking Cusco from the north.
While the fortress is a prime example of the Incas unearthly interlocking stonemasonry, Qenqo shows their skill at shaping large rock monoliths where they stand, without the use of metal tools. .
The huge monolith has a warren of tunnels carved out of natural splits and breaks in the rock, including a number of niches thought to have been burial sites for the nobility..
An amphitheater on the northside centers on a tall rock, that could have been a statue of a puma, which indicates Qenqo was used for religious purposes.
On top of the rock a series of zigzag carvings served as channels for chicha, an alcohol used in rituals, or for sacrificial blood.
Several other stone carvings on top of the stone resemble a house, a puma and a condor.
