Tambomachay - High quaility stonework, a double-jam doorway, and the four large, outward-facing niches all indicate that the site was an important shrine to the Incas. Despite the importance of the site to the Incas, the original name is uncertain. Cobo (1653) tells us that Tambomachay was a house: "...The ninth [holy place] was named Tambomachay; it was a house of Inca Yupanpui where he lodged when he went hunting." Bernabe Cobo, 1653.

Sacsayhuaman - Cuzco was envisioned to represent a puma with Sacsayhuaman as head. Large parts of the site has been destroyed in the colonial era as the spainards used the stones of the sites to build their own houses. What remains is still impressive.
