Introduction

The Temple of the Condor is a masterpiece of Inca stonemasonry. Constructed on a giant rock formed naturally millions of years ago, this temple was skillfully carved by Inca craftsmen to bring the condor to life. Historians speculate that the head of the condor may have been used as an altar. Below the temple lies a small cave where a mummy was discovered. Behind the Temple of the Condor is a prison with a niche that can hold one person.
