Views of Q'enqo.

              

Q'enqo means "labyrinth" in Quechua.  Hmm...I wonder why?

                             

Lucrecia leads us deeper into the labyrinth.

The monument to the Puma (L & R)  If you look closely you can actually see the resemblance between the stone and a puma.  (Center) the wall of seating around the statue used during ceremonies.
