Its primary functions were: astronomical observatory and sanctuary for the training of priestesses and / or brides for the nobility, among others. With enough agricultural terraces to deed its population and watered by natural springs, Machu Picchu seemed to have been used by the Inca as a secret ceremonial city. Come and discover its best kept secrets...
