Further down the road is the small temple of Qenqo, meaning 'zigzag', where the Incas made sacrifices to their gods. There are channels in the rocks where they poured chicha (an alcoholic drink made of maize) and blood. If the offering ran down the right side of the channel, more sacrifices were required. If it ran down the left channel, the sacrifice was sufficient.
