The site was important in pre-Inca times and described by Pedro Cieza de León who was told by the locals that nearby village of Chucuito was the oldest site in the region and continued to be held as a sacred site by the Inca. The site previously consisted of large buildings and was a major center of power.{{Citation|last1=de Cieza de Leon|first1=Pedro|work=Travels of Pedro de Cieza de León, A.D. 1532–50|pages=lxxv–lxxvi|place=Cambridge|publisher=Cambridge University Press|isbn=978-0-511-70872-5|last2=Markham|first2=Clements R.|title=First Part of the Chronicle of Peru|year=2010|doi=10.1017/cbo9780511708725.002}}
