	Tours: Tambo colorado -- Posada Hispana Hotel -- Pisco - Peru
		Tambo Colorado is the best preserved monument from the Inca times on the Peruvian coast.
		Tambo Colorado is a name consisting of two words in different languages; "Tampu", a Quechua word that means resting place, and Colorado, in Spanish, for the red color that decorated its walls and that can be clearly seen still to date.
		But it is not only the red color of its walls what distinguishes Tambo Colorado, but also its typical Inca architecture matching the area, since instead of large stones, like those used in the Inca buildings in the highlands, clay was also used very skillfully by the ancient Peruvians.

		(The name of the complex, colorado, refers to the red color of the walls.) Also unique in the Inca canon, the structures here were constructed not of neatly cut stone, but of materials that could be used for long-term construction, given the lack of rain on the desert coast.
		If you are intent on seeing Tambo Colorado, it's advisable to either go with an organized guided tour or hire a taxi, which will take you out to the site, wait for you, and return you to Pisco for about $30.
