Description
The typical Inca terraces form the largest constructions on site. A temple, some administrative buildings and the living quarters of the aristocrats are situated around the central square. On the outskirts of the site lie the living quarters of the common people grouped together in a small village.
There are numerous water channels, aqueducts and water springs. Most of the buildings are well-preserved and well-restored.
Restoration is still continuing.
