Qollmay

Qollmay is 4 km North-West (about a 25-minute drive on dirt road) of Chinchaypujio [1]. First excavated by Max Uhle in 1905 and registered by Ken Heffernan in 1986, it has been classified in 6 sectors and has about a dozen foundations, half a dozen well preserved walls and one well preserved walled-off natural cavern with Inca-style stonework inside, located within sector 1 [1]. This cavernous building is thought to be the most important one in the whole site [1]. Adjacent to it is a rock formation reminiscent of a birth canal, speculated to be the site of fertility rituals [1]. The site is embedded within Inca-made, rectangular terraces, now overgrown with grass [1].
