This sector is also known as Hanan P’isaq (upper P’isaq), Q’alla means cut and Q’asa means pass, is the highest sector of all P’isaq and here appears a wall that surrounds and protects the sacred sector called as Intiwatana. During the excavations made by Arminda Gibaja, she found some special buildings that were used to raise into guinea pigs.
As this area is the highest, possible controlled all, because near this we will find some door that also controlled its access, the first door is called as Amaru Punku, Amaru means snake and punku means door, its original name is lost, probable nowadays inhabitants put this name by the wall because if we see this wall it looks like a snake when this goes along the mountain, at the back of this door we will see one hole worked just in a block of rock, it has a quadrangular shape and in the middle there is a depression that served to put into a small cylindrical piece of stone, in the another column was something similar but in this case the inkas used the presence of the rock to have its couple there, they tied a kind of door that consisted in some wooden sticks in vertical position and another in horizontal position, those doors were not like ours now, no were so save as now, because in all the road there are some control points, the kind of construction of this door is fine, if when you pass the door you have to walk up by some stair that were built according to nature without destroying it, the inkas built everything according to nature respecting it, after there is a tunnel, when the inkas sew this natural fissure they modified it, passing the tunnel there is a building called as pukara, it is a semi circular building that have some niches in, but according to the architecture those niches were for domestically use, it had a wall that surrounded which is destroyed now. From this part you have a good view of the sector called as P’isaqa, because from here the sector has the shape of a bird’s pick, similar to those that have the tinamou (in this group is the Nothoprocta ornata) and probable is by this reason why the name of P’isaq.
