Shaman Blessings
On the north end of the island is a Inca complex, a rock they claim looks like a puma (from which the name Titicaca originated), and this sacrificial table just in front of the rock. During the Inca or Tihawanico (not sure which) culture, animal and most likely human sacrifices where made on the stone table in the foreground. Nowadays, stupid tourists get a earth mother blessing or something of that sort from the local witch doctor.
