Temple of the Three Windows

The Temple of Three Windows is part of the Sacred Plaza. Steps from it lead up to the Intihuatana, Quechua for "place to which the sun is tied", which is a multifaceted astronomical and ceremonial stone piece sculpted from in situ rock forming the natural peak of the pyramid-like hill and is the highest point in the urban area.

Beautiful temple structure. I saw obvious evidence of significant wood timbers and like to imagine how they might have been carved and decorated during different iterations of worship.

When visiting sites like Machu Picchu, be cautious of information provided by tour guides as these locations have been uninhabited for hundreds of years before the Spanish conquest of South America. Due to a lack of written documentation or hieroglyphics, guides' narratives might not always align with facts. As there are none.

Pachamama bless you all, trekkers!

Gorgeous spot and a great place to take photos

Well hopefully I get people thinking tres windows and near guld of mexico by mayans or olmec they had Tres big head statues...??? Were there originally 3 gods and they split up?? One becoming mayan one incan and one aztec??

One of the most ancient place in the world. It is a nice and wonderful historical place. There is enough security for everyone here. One can visit the place with friends and family.

Massive rocks used to the build the main temple. This is for the God who is above the son. The God of all gods. You can tell by the rocks and by how well they are cut.
