Sector 1: Located to 3850 meters of altitude and in the south of this place is incorporated or formed by 6 rectangular enclosures plants.

 

Sector 2: Located in the half part of this place, occupying a small mound that it was appropriate for the construction of the big walls, is for that reason it is used as a observation point, this because from there you can see the basin of Ausangate, both the top and the bottom.
