USU PACHA, CAY PACHA Y JANAC PACHA
As this comments initially Sacsayhuaman to them conformed by three platforms and each one of them representaria the three levels of RELIGION INKA. The first serious level USU PACHA and represents the DEATH. The second serious level CAY PACHA and represents the LIFE. The third level is JANAC PACHA and represents the divine thing is to say to its GODS. In this photo taken from the SUNCHUNA, it is additionally appraised to the platforms or terraces, the CHUQUIPAMPA or the level one of the lances, which were a concurred place very, where groups of ñustas rendian tribute to the sun during the dawn and where diverse goods circulated that were stored in the depositos of the zone.

Recent works of arqueologia have discovered a spring that abastecia of water to one poza to circulate from which partia a complex network of channels. To the front of the slippery spot is an amphitheatre where the Inca reunia with its governors.

To the right flank and almost to the front is a rock that has 02 seats, which occur the sword, these they have declared to me were occupied by 02 of his bodyguards, one watched in the same direction that the Inca, whereas another one in opposite direction. , also alongside left and in front of this throne, nailed on the rock is a seat for third guardaespalda.
SMALL CHINCANA
The SMALL CHINCANA, is a labyrinth that is contiguous with the amphitheatre. same this to about 150 ms of tobogan of the RODADERO, is of low height, but to incline is enough to be able to cross it.
