This is just a small attraction at the end of a very nice walk through some nice countryside. There are water fountains built by the Inca and the water goes underground to the Temple of the Sun.

Part of the city tour so worth the short walk to see it. It is a site with acquaducts and basins for bathing of the Incans. A bit different and small, but still interesting.

This site located close to Cusco is probably a Inca dedication to water, an important symbol and power for the Incas.
