Summary

[edit]
Description

Tourists trying to feel the energy eminating from the Intihuatana calendar rock.

The Intihuatana (or alternatively spelled Intiwatana) is known as the "hitching post of the sun" and is a carved rock pillar with each of its four corners oriented toward the four cardinal points. The Inca used the angles of the pillar to predict the solstices.

Not sure about its "energy" though or if that is just tales told by the guides for the tourists.
