The Temple of the Condor in Machu Picchu is one of the most striking temples of the Inca city. Built in a cave made of rock in the form of a condor in full planting. The stone is carved in the shape of wings and the condor's head underneath gives the structure a 3D shape. The Andean condor is the largest bird in South America, the sacred bird of the Incas. The Incas believed that this bird collected clouds that produced rain, which fertilized the earth. A very unusual place in the Machu Picchu complex. One of its main attractions.
