2024年8月15日 · The House of the Guardian is an Inca construction in Machu Picchu. Unlike the main temples and enclosures, its architecture is rustic. Its fame lies mainly in the fact that from there and its surroundings, tourists can get the dreamed-of classic photo with the Inca citadel in the background.

The Guardian’s house is a simple enclosure, made of small stone and adobe. It is the only construction of the citadel whose roofing made of beams and ichu (wild grass from the Andes) remains to this day. Inside there are three squared windows that offer a complete view of Machu Picchu, its access and exit points.
