        Many travelers who have visited Machu Picchu have been able to see the famous Sun Gate, called INTIPUNKU by the Incas. However, few know that there is another INTIPUNKU located high on one of the mountains surrounding the town of Ollantaytambo. This mysterious oracle, built by the Incas, unlike the one at Machu Picchu, has a spectacular view of the Veronica Mountains.         This unique Inca temple is located 65 kilometers from Cusco in the heart of the Sacred Valley of the Incas, 3 kilometers from the town of Ollantaytambo at an altitude of 3,900 meters above sea level on the grounds of the CACHICCATA community. From the top, we can enjoy a privileged view of the imposing Verónica and Wacaywillca snow-capped mountains.

        This unique and mysterious archaeological site is located at the farthest end of Cusco but also the closest to Machu Picchu, exactly 65 kilometers from Cusco and 43 kilometers from Machu Picchu, at 2,792 meters above sea level. Its strategic location, and its construction, which defied the laws of physics and the limited space required to lift enormous boulders to the top of a mountain, still remains a mystery.           The origin of this ceremonial temple dates back to the period in which the Inca PACHACUTEC ruled (1,418 to 1,471 AD) although archaeological findings have determined that there was already a construction that dates back to the pre-Inca era, (Wari culture 600 AD) it was when the Incas took control of this valley that they built a prodigious and very important temple for the worship of the Sun, until a little before Ollantaytambo served as a place of control in the sacred valley.         Ollantaytam...
