THE
MOON TEMPLE
The Temple covers the entire landscape of the slopes of Huayna
Picchu and consists of a set of architecturally enhanced caves, most
likely used to hold mummies of important Inca ancestors and provide
places for their worship. More fine stonework embellishes the walls
of these caves, some of which are decorated with niches and altars
carved into the native rock.
