Tambomachay[1] (possibly fromQuechuatampu inn, guest house,mach'ay cave, ormachay drunkenness, to get drunk or "spindle with thread")[2][3] is anarchaeological site associated with theInca Empire, located nearCusco,Peru. An alternateSpanish name isEl Baño del Inca ("the bath of the Inca").

It consists of a series ofaqueducts,canals andwaterfalls that run through theterraced rocks. It is situated near springs such as the one called Timpuc Puquiu, a boiling spring on the northern bank of the Timpuc River and the spring near Huaylla Cocha community.[4] These natural springs were channeled through three waterfalls that still flow today.[5]

The function of the site is uncertain: it may have served as a military outpost guarding the approaches to Cusco, as aspa resort for the Incan political elite[6] or imperial baths.[7] It could have also served a religious function[8] sincesacred water fountains were found almost all of major Incan temple such asPisac,Ollantaytambo, andMachu Picchu. There are sources that refer to Tambomachay as one of the nineceques built along the Road ofAntisuyu, describing it as an Incan house where sacrifices were also made.[9]
