"El Templo del Agua" , lugar de veneración al agua donde se observan dos acueductos finamente tallados en la roca que mantienen el flujo de agua aún en nuestros días.
"The Water Temple" a place for water worship where two aqueducts finely carved in the rock kept the flow of water even today.
Das Bild zeigt die beeindruckenden Ruinen von Tambomachay, einer archäologischen Stätte der Inka in der Nähe von Cusco, Peru. Im Vordergrund sind mehrere Terrassen aus massiven, präzise bearbeiteten Steinen zu sehen, die die typische polygonale Bauweise der Inka aufweisen. Auf der unteren Ebene ist ein Wasserspiel erkennbar, bei dem Wasser über moosbewachsene Steine fliesst. Weiter oben in den Mauern befinden sich mehrere rechteckige Nischen. Die Steinmauern erstrecken sich einen grasbewachsenen Hügel hinauf, der mit trockenem Gras und einigen Sträuchern bewachsen ist. Der Himmel ist bewölkt und verleiht der Szene eine ruhige, aber leicht düstere Atmosphäre. Ein schmaler, erdiger Pfad ist am rechten Bildrand sichtbar.
Tambomachay, un oráculo cargado de mágia dedicado al culto del agua, situado a 9 Kms de la ciudad del Cuzco consta de tres andenes platafórmicos y está construido con bloques tallados. Conocido también por tradición oral como los baños de la Ñusta.

Tambomachay ( located near Cusco ) is an archaeological site that was intended for worship of water. This place is also called Inca baths. Located 7 Km northeast of Cusco.
Lugar de descanso ubicado cerca de cusco fue destinado al culto al agua para que el jefe del imperio inca pudiese descansar consta de una serie de acueductos canales y varias cascadas que discurren por las rocas las 2 cascadas secundarias son exactamente iguales si colocas una botella vacia una en cada cascada las 2 se llenan al mismo tiempo
Like many Inca sites, the exact purpose of Tambomachay is unknown. Likely part of a temple complex and perhaps part of a military guard post system, it's famous for its still functioning springs. Archeologists are still unsure of the exact source as finding out would damage the structure.

Complejo arqueológico de Tambomachay, a 5 km. del Cuzco, Perú.
El agua en sí misma fue venerada como fuente de la vida. Tambomachay posee un extraordinario sistema hidráulico; observándose dos acueductos artísticamente tallados en la roca, donde se transporta y mantiene un flujo constante de agua limpia y clara durante todo el año, que viene de una poza que está a un nivel más alto. Esta red de canales subterráneos derrama sus aguas en una pequeña poza de piedra en el nivel más bajo. Para muchos esta poza tuvo que ser una fuente litúrgica, donde el inca rendía culto al agua junto con los sacerdotes del imperio incaico.
Tambomachay en español, o Tampumachay (quechua: tampu mach'ay, ‘lugar de descanso’) . Sitio arqueológico destinado para el culto al agua y para que el Inca pudiese descansar. Se ubica en la cordillera de los Andes, a solo 7 kilómetros al NE de la ciudad de Cusco, a una altura de 3 700 m s. n. m.
Una serie ingeniosa de acueductos, canales y cascadas de agua que discurren por las rocas. Resalta de esto que, de una cascada principal, los ingenieros incas crearon dos cascadas secundarias, las cuales son exactamente iguales. Esto es, si se colocaran dos botellas vacías, una en cada cascada, las dos se llenan en simultáneo.
Aquí también hubo una especie de jardín real cuyo riego provenía de un complicado sistema de canales especialmente hechos para tal función. Así mismo, constituía una zona de control de las personas que venían del Antisuyo, porque allí existía un torreón para tal propósito. El Antisuyo (quechua: Anti Šuyu, 'parcialidad de los antis ') fue uno de los cuatro suyos del Imperio incaico, ubicado en parte de la amazonia de Sudamérica como lo evidencian los topónimos, usos y costumbres de esas regiones. Comprendió principalmente parte de las yungas y ceja de montaña donde dejaron huellas como la construcción de Machu Picchu, de las cuencas de los ríos Urubamba y Madre de Dios. (Wikipedia, editada)

Junto con la clásica visión del Machu Picchu ninguna imagen representa tan bien a Perú como una mujer con su colorida vestimenta y su sombrero junto a su llama.
Y es que aunque pueda parecer un estereotipo Perú es así.........

We saw this lady spinning her wool (maybe from her Alpaca!) near the baths at Tambomachay. It's an interesting and laborious process taking the raw material and turning it into textiles and clothes.
(Later I will post some photos showing this process).
I think the tassels on the alpaca's ears may be for identification as well as decorative.

“There is so much more to Peru than Cusco and Machu Picchu.” How many times has that refrain found its way into print and onto the Internet?
Tell it to Cusco as it ramps up a two-day general strike to overturn Legislative Decree 1198 — a new provision to Peru's Cultural Patrimony Law that would allow poorer, less developed regions to work with the private sector to manage, promote and conserve thousands of pre-Hispanic archaeological sites.
Here's the bizarre part: pretty much none of those sites are located in the ancient Inca capital. But Cusco's political and civil establishment appears enthralled in a delusional belief that they are. They are treating the decree as a crisis of existential proportions and have taken to the streets in mass protests, demanding the repeal of 1198.
PeruRail and Inca Rail have suspended train service to Machu Picchu for the safety of passengers. Cusco's Public school teachers and staff were told to take the day off. Tourists landing at Velasco Astete Airport are facing road blocks between them and their hotels in the Historic Cusco Center, and the highways from Puno, Apurimac and Madre de Dios are also blocked.
Local headlines declare that the central government's “privatization” of Cusco's cultural patrimony would undermine the very identity of each and every Cusqueño.
“Cusco could lose 200 million soles due to a decree allowing private management of heritage sites,” one article warned, without a shred of subsequent fact to back up the baseless assertion.
That 200 million soles figure refers to all income that Cusco derives annually from tourism for its state coffers.
Far from a nefarious corporate conspiracy, Legislative Decree 1198 was inspired by the Burra Charter, a cultural heritage management road map that's been updated every few years since it was first promulgated in 1979 in Burra, Australia, and emulated worldwide.
Peru's branch of the International Council on Monuments and Sites (ICOMOS) has endorsed the decree and said it is eager to participate in its implementation and development.
Peru's Ministry of Culture was given 90 days to establish a procedure for the provision, implementation and monitoring of cultural management agreements.
The Ministry of Culture issued a communique calling on the protesters to stop, take a deep breath and consider what this modification to the patrimony law truly would and would not do.
“The sole purpose of the Legislative Decree is to value our archaeological heritage, joining forces with regional and local governments, communities, universities, companies and other public and private entities that are willing to participate, if they meet the requirements,” the communique stated.
The Legislative Decree 1198 is completely optional and expressly excludes UNESCO World Heritage Sites, like the Historical Center of Cusco, Machu Picchu and all the ruins along the ancient Qhapaq Ñan system of Inca Trails, like Choquequirao, Choquecancha, and the Q'eswachaka Bridge, just to mention a few.
Every single historic destination in Cusco that collects tourist entry fees under the General Tourist Ticket Law, are also excluded, including:
Sacsayhuaman
Ollantaytambo
Pisac
Chinchero
Pikillaqta
Tipon
Puka Pucara
Tambomachay
Moray, and a dozen other historic attractions.
Legislative Decree 1198, published Sept. 22, clearly does not transfer property rights from the state to private entities and it stipulates that any private management concession must include commitments to fund research, conservation and restoration of pre-Hispanic archaeological sites, while promoting their access and social use.
Private development of tourism would be awarded in public bidding and project concessions cannot exceed 10 years — a stipulation that would have come in handy for Cusco in its dealings with, for instance, Consettur, which has held monopolistic control over shuttle bus access to Machu Picchu for two decades.
The regional government of Cusco has long been embroiled in a legal battle to break Consettur's questionable 30-year concession.
Peru's Congressional Committee on Culture and Cultural Heritage in Lima is debating five bills today presented by Cusco lawmakers. Three seek outright repeal of Decree 1198 and two would superfluously exclude Cusco from the decree's reach. Whichever bill the committee approves will then be taken up on Thursday by the full Congress.
“We want Cusco to calm down,” commission chairman Ramon Kobashigawa told Daily La Republica. He said that the majority of the committee was leaning toward exempting Cusco.
But if history is any guide, even that might not be enough to stem the hysteria.
Congress in late 2007 passed legislation sponsored by lawmaker Carlos Bruce, which sought to do basically what this decree aims to accomplish. Then, as now, Cusco rose up in opposition. So, Congressman Bruce offered an amendment exempting Cusco. But the protests in Cusco continued and intensified.
Bowing to the pressure, lawmakers ended up repealing the “Bruce Law.”
There is so much more to Peru than Cusco and Machu Picchu — amazing archaeological sites — both Inca and pre-Inca — that poorer, less developed regions want desperately to restore, conserve and share with the world, while boosting their local economies. It would be nice if this time, Cusco got out of their way.

After visiting Inca ruins in Raqch'i, Cusco, Pisac, Olyantaytambo, Saksaywaman, Q'inqu, Puca Pucara and Tambomachay it was time to take the train to Agua Calientes, the base town for Machu Picchu.
We elected not to walk the Inca Trail in favour of more time in Brasil at the end of our 7 week trip.
The train trip nevertheless is outstanding and very scenic as it passes out of Sacred Valley it travels along the side of the amazingly turbulent Urubamba River with precipitous mountains shrouded in cloud on the other side.
Eventually the train arrives in the somewhat ramshackle town of Agua Calientes from where buses take most visitors up to Machu Piccu.
There are two companies offering train travel to Machu Picchu from Cusco and Sacred Valley Stations. Peru Rail and Inca Rail both offer tickets at various prices depending on level of luxury.
Its also worth noting that to avoid disappointment you do need to book your Machu Picchu entry at minimum several weeks in advance if you want to gain access to Machu Picchu.
In recent years the government has required your passport number at the time of booking your entry tickets and has also capped the number of visitors on any day at 2,500. People who don't book ahead run the risk of not being allowed into Machu Picchu.

A 3765 metros de altitude (o que indicava uma placa um pouco abaixo desse ponto...) está este atual sítio arqueológico inca. Antes, era um conjunto de aquedutos destinado ao descanso do chefe inca e ao culto à água.

LA RISA
El murciélago, colgado de la rama por los pies, vio que un guerrero kayapó se inclinaba sobre el manantial.
Quiso ser su amigo.
Se dejó caer sobre el guerrero y lo abrazó. Como no conocía el idioma de los kayapó, le habló con las manos. Las caricias del murciélago arrancaron al hombre la primera carcajada. Cuanto más se reía, más débil se sentía. Tanto se rió, que al fin perdió todas sus fuerzas y cayó desmayado.
Cuando se supo en la aldea, hubo furia. Los guerreros quemaron un montón de hojas secas en la gruta de los murciélagos y cerraron la entrada.
Después, discutieron.
Los guerreros resolvieron que la risa fuera usada solamente por las mujeres y los niños.
