Tambomachay
Monumental ConstructionDescription
Tambomachay is a monumental construction in Peru, South America.
Tambomachay is an Inca site near Cusco with stone terraces, niches and channels feeding fountains. Its exact original functions remain debated, so descriptions should distinguish the surviving water architecture from more speculative labels such as a royal bath. The timeline uses a broad Inca imperial-period interval in the fifteenth and early sixteenth centuries. The precise construction date and original function of individual structures are not established here.
