Peru / Ñusta Isspana / Chuquepalta, the site is best known for the large white rock [Yurak Rumi] and spring. Some carvings on the rock suggest numbers such as these protrusions on one side.There can be no doubt that this was a very sacred place. It became a landmark for Spaniards recording the route to Vilcabamba, the last hiding place of the Incas.
