Templo del Cóndor

The centre of the so-called prison district is occupied by the Temple of the Condor (Templo del Cóndor), a flat altar carved into the rock at the entrance to a cave, where the beak and collar of a condor can be perfectly recognised. In the background, the two rock formations seem to imitate the outstretched wings of the bird, symbol of the celestial world in the Inca cosmogony.
