Tambomachay & Puka Pukara

July 08, 2026  •  Leave a Comment

Tambomachay & Puka Pukara are located across the road from each other. Tambomachay is 12,139 ft above sea level and the highest site that we hiked.


The temple of water includes a few fountains, aqueducts, and empty baths. Water, due to its vital importance, was honored and celebrated here. The man-made aqueducts flow water underground from the mountains, the exact source still unknown. At the time, the aqueducts filled up the baths with fresh water. The water is still flowing, hundreds of years later, but is no longer drinkable.
