This is the Sun Temple at Machu Picchu, Peru. Exactly during winter solstice, the sun rays enter through the window into the ritual stone inside. For the Inca, gold had no monetary value, but was a symbol of the Sun. The word Inca itself means the Sun Of Son, so the Inca king was covered in gold powder on occasions so he could shine like the sun. Follow Me on:

Visit Qorikancha, the temple of the sun, in Cusco, Peru
While in Cusco, Peru, you can visit Qorikancha, also known as the temple of the sun.
Located in Cusco, Qorikancha, or “Temple of the Sun,” was the most important temple of the Inca Empire. The walls of this impressive structure were covered in gold until the Spanish arrived and melted it down to use for themselves. But even without golden walls, the Incan’s impressive basalt stonework remains—and it’s a must-see when in Peru.

Narration By Don Moffitt
Vacation Peru: The temple of the Sun - Terreon - Machu Picchu - Peru
Vacation idea: The temple of the Sun also known as Terreon is one of the most diferent structures in Machu Picchu - Peru. It's rounded, polished and inclined wall are completely different from al the other structures in Machu Picchu. Once you get there for a better and closer look, you realize how advanced the Incas were in stone craft.
It's said, it had sveral uses at the Inca time, such as an astronomical/atrological observatory, sacred rituals and religious sacrifices.
Underneath the tower there is an entrance that lead you to a kind o cave, it is also said, it was used as a crypt, but unfortunatelly toutists are not allowed to visit it.
