The Inca's built this town at 2,430 m above sea-level, in the middle of a tropical mountain towering more than 800 metres above AguasCalientes in order for safety purposes: both military and geographical. The area is subject to earthquakes, pouring showers, avalanches and landslides. Above all, though, their main purpose was to be closer to their gods, the sun and moon.
