Quenco is an ancient Incan site just north of Cusco.
Most of the stones were taken by the Spanish to build buildings.
But some parts of the site could not easily be carried away.
This included the large natural rock formations.
The temple has lots of tiny passages through giant rocks.
Most were probably originally natural but have been carved out and smoothed.
On one side there are some small buildings coming out of the temple.
This table was likely used for mummification of Inca royalty. The cool atmosphere of the cave helped with the process.
There were once many buildings south of this temple, but all that remains is the foundations that were too difficult to scavenge.
Many of these were made from gigantic, elaborately carved stones.
The building foundations look weird without the rest of the stones.
Some are carved into strange shapes.
Some had stairs that now don’t go anywhere.
