High upin the mountains that tower over Cajamarca is an area of volcanic tors. Very photogenic. These are the Cumbe Mayo, and attracted the Incas spiritual tendencies. Here they cut a rock platform (for sacrifices to Pachamama) and a series of water channels to carry water from this holy place down to Cajamarca.
