Titikala, also called Titi Qala (Aymara Titi = "Puma", Kala = "Rock"; originally probably Thakshi cala), also called Sacred Rock[1], is a rock formation that is considered the most important shrine of the Inca and also the most important indigenous shrine functioned in the region. Titikala is located in the sanctuary area on the Titicaca Island. The name Thakshi cala for the sacred rock is probably the origin of the name Titicaca and Titikala (see Lake Titicaca#Origin of the name). Two hundred meters west of the Sacred Rock is the Inca ruin Chinkana. From Wikipedia
