Huacas

In Incan mythology, the Huacas were similar to the Greek nymphs, gods representing lakes, rivers, mountains, forests and rockss. Huacas are said to be holy and places. They were often made of natural landscapes arranged along numerous hillsides. Each Huacas in the Inca Empire had its own place in the religious hierarchy (27).
