Detail of carved channel for liquid offerings in stone altar at Inca site of Intinqala, Copacabana, Bolivia
This rock is Rock 9, called the Altar Propiciatorio by Rivero in 1977. The channel was for liquid offerings, very likely chicha which was commonly used by the Incas in rituals, possibly also blood and others.
