pachacama
Pachacama was the most important God around the area. It was said that no one dared to look at the eyes of the statue directly.
The tour cost US$35. Since my wallet was quite empty at that time (my last day in Peru) so I have to do it the cheap way. I took a mini bus from Santa Catalina (in Lima , not Arequipa) and it only cost me US$0.5 each way (Pachacama was about 30 minutes out of town). The entrance is only US$1.50. So I did the US$35 tour with US$3.
This was where they trained the baby sitters (usually old ladies) for the Virgin of the sun (girls to be sacrificed).
This is the temple of the sun, you can sea the coast from the top. Don't try to walk off the road, the guards are armed and dangerous, they won't hesitate to shoot you if you try to do something silly.
The vultures are waiting for the dead body of the tourists who didn't listen to the warning of the guards.
This is the Pachacama temple, they found a door covered with sacred red sea shells (which can only be found in Educator). They also found the statue of Pachacama.
This is a street running from the west to the east.
This is a pyramid with ramp, they used it as a temple.
This is the idol of Pachacama. The upper part is a two faced human figure, so it can see both the past and the future without turning around.
