Review & FAQ:
Known in English as the Temple of the Moon, Salumpunko is an ancient and mysterious structure that doesn't get nearly as many visitors as many other archaeological sites in the area, but it's well worth going out of your way to pay it a visit. The site consists primarily of two caves carved into the hillside, both of which are decorated with unique carvings and ritualistic altars that are positioned so that the moonlight hits them on certain nights. Entrance to the caves is free, and you can easily get here by taxi or even on foot if you have the whole day.
