Next to this place there is a group of room that looks like a pavilion in three lines, those have doors and windows, until some years ago people thought that this building was a hospital, but it could not be because it is hard to go and the patient could also die before get there, another group of people thought that were jails, but those could not be, because all the room have wide and big room and windows and the prisoner could escape the first day or night that they were imprisoned, also another group of people thought that it was a yachay wasi or school for the Inkas but for the distance and the accessibility it could not be, the logical ideas mention that those were Qolqas or storehouses where they saved their products after harvest, to preserve them for the future, because it has wide windows and doors that make able the wind get into and keep fresh those saved products, first they put muña plant (muña is a plant that its smell prevent get into the insects and bugs), after they put on straw (andean grass) and on the product like corn and potatoes, near to this buildings on the edge of the mountain there are other buildings that were also qolqas but by their position maybe those were to keep into seeds of the most important products that were cultivated.
