It was also a collective lodge offering food and shelter for travelers, as well as for the retinue escorting the Inca in his retirement in Tambomachay.

We ended up visiting Tambomachay is called the sacred bathing place for the Inca rulers “the Incas' Bath ”, and was probably a centre of water worship. It is known that the Incas revered water as one of the principal elements of life.
