SUN ISLAND IN TITICACA LAKE

SUN ISLAND TITICACA LAKE The blue treasure of our ancestors By Cristina Quisbert Quispe

In the ancient times there was
neither Sun nor Moon
and people lived …

in the darkness
( ch’amakpacha )

… but one day our Tata Inti (Sun)
rose on
Sun Island in Titicaca Lake

And from the sacred rock emerged Manco Capac and Mama Ocllo creating the Inca Empire

Later, their descendants built a two level stone Palace in the south of the Island. It was the Pilkokaina Palace which was a temporal house of the main Inca .

Bordering the mountain first and then walking across its approximately nine kilometers…

Incas built Chinkana or Laberynth. A complex group of rooms connected by many trapezoidal doors and small corridors.

In the middle of Chinkana, Incas had a natural fountain which was used to make water rituals

Past and present always join. Going up or down the different ways one may find a lot of surprises such as…

This old catlike pottery found in the depths of the Sun Island .

Mountains and water are the owners of a lot of secrets left by the ancient cultures born here. This is a sacred place for indigenous peoples. ¡Help us to protect it!
