Temple of Viracocha, the Creator god.
This was once a major centre on Inca civilisation and religion.

This photo shows the main ancient temple wall, the lower parts being typical Inca cut and fitted masonry, while the upper section is made of adobe.

The roof tiles are a modern addition, to protect the adobe from rain and erosion.
