Discovered in 1940, it is believed that it was a guard house that protected the entrance to Machu Picchu, being a point of control along the old Camino Real. Those who choose the 4-day Inca Trail do not pass these ruins.

After the guided tour, we will continue for two more hours, winding around the mountainside and climbing the 50 stone steps that will lead us to the Intipunku, (Sun Gate). This segment of the route is the same as the 4-day Inca Trail. From here we will have an impressive view of the archaeological site of Machu Picchu.
