There's few other Inca sites outside of Cuzco, that can be found here and there in area between Q'enqo and Tambomachay Usually, because they are located away of well trodden paths, not many tourists visiting them. Also, degree of their preservation is rather bad. Temple of the Moon is one of such a sites. Built around the massive bedrock outcrop, remains of old shrine are still used for shamanic ceremonies and Cuzco's dwellers and people from nearby villages coming in here for picnic. Not much left of temple's walls and rock carvings are heavily eroded, but site itself is quite romantic. On the one side of the rock there's big crevice that leads in to underground chamber or corridor. Although entering it is prohibited, locals sneaking inside of it, ignoring calls of the keeper of the temple . I couldn't find any information about this very place, and my knowledge of Inca history is rather superficial, therefore, this time I can't give you any interesting information or anecdotes regarding Temple of the Moon. To the south of shrine lays waterlogged meadows with muddy path leading to it, and to the east of them remains of old Inca road are still well visible. To the north of the outcrop some more rocks and small ravine can be found, and beyond them, there's another Inca site called Chukimarca, but I haven't visited it. Templo de la Luna and its surroundings is ideal place for somebody who's tired of busy and noisy cities and more popular and overcrowded historical sites. There's no ticket needed for this site. I found this place by a chance, wandering around area outside of the Cuzco.
