From Cha’llapampa Village, the Chincana route continues parallel to the beach, climbing gently along an ancient route to the isthmus at Santiago Pampa (also known as Kasapata).
Immediately east of the trail is an odd carved boulder standing upright in a small field. This is known as the Piedra Sagrada (Sacred Stone). There are theories that it was used as an execution block for those convicted of wrongdoing.
Over the track and in a field, just southwest of the Piedra Sagrada, are the ancient walls of the complex known as the Templo del Inca (or Templo del Sol). Although little remains of this temple, built for an unknown purpose, it contains the only Bolivian examples of expert Inca stonework comparable to the renowned walls found in Cuzco.
