The site was intended for the worship of water, also known as Temple of water by the beautiful water that brings water from a natural spring water, that not even the place of its origin is known. These water sources consist of a series of canals, aqueducts and waterfalls. The curious thing about this major water source Incas created several waterfalls and secondary channels. That is bring the same amount of water, if we put a bottle of water to each waterfall, to be filled simultaneously.

Here there was also a form of royal garden. Whose water came from a complicated system of channels made especially for that function.
