In the Tahuantinsuyo Empire, the sacred roads or Inca roads led to different places. Among these roads were the famous Tambos, which were a kind of lodging for those who, if they had a long trip, could rest in these Tambos and could obtain food to continue. with his trip and so on from time to time. The Intipunku door was a Tambo, but over time only the cover of the door remained, thus having a view of the Nevado Wakaywillke or Nevado Verónica, which makes it look like a three-dimensional door. From the town of Cachiccata you can see the Intipunku gate high up that seems like if you crossed it, you would never return to the same place, this exploration will make you feel a lot of mystery.
