Wiñay Wayna
This site consists of one convex and one concave ruins, one higher on the mountain than the other. The upper ruins are built from very finely cut and polished granite, forming what might once have been a ceremonial site. The lower ruins feature a series of terraces alternating with a row of water fountains, and a number of chambers with rectangular bases of different sizes. The Incas diverted a mountain stream to run through baths in both of these sites.
