Casa del Guardián

Entering the agricultural sector from the Inca Trail, one can find see the extensive artificial agricultural terraces, and in a higher place a three-wall enclosure: the "Casa del Guardián" or "Puesto de Vigilancia". From there you can see the course of the Urubamba River and the surrounding cemetery, and enjoy a spectacular view of the complex. The cemetery was identified as such by Bingham, it is thought that this was the place of custody. Its thatched roof has been restored.
