Fuente del Inca & Escalera del Inca
Early Spaniards believed Yumani's spring was a fountain of youth, and for the Incas the three streams represented their national motto: Ama sua, Ama llulla, Ama khella, (Don't steal, don't lie and don't be lazy.) Today, the fountain is a crucial source of water for locals, who come daily to wash clothes or fetch water and carry it up the steep trail.

From near the end of Calle Murillo, a signposted trail leads uphill to the Horca del Inca, an odd trilithic gate perched on the hillside.

North of the cemetery on the southeastern outskirts of town is the sadly neglected site of artificially sculpted boulders known as the Inca Tribunal. Its original purpose is unknown, but there are several carved stones with asientos (seats), basins and hornecinos (niches), which probably once contained idols.
