Intihuatana

This is a sundial on Macupicchu. The Inca who one inhabited the city used this sundail to tell time. Our tour guide Persi told us that there was a special reason the sundial was blocked off. Years ago there was a television filming in the area. The camera was placed close to the tip of the sundail. Unfortunetly the camera slipped causing the sundial to get chipped. Ever since then, no visitors have been able to get near the dial. Persi said some people try to touch the rock because they believe it is spiritual.
