Intipunku, also known as the Sun Gate, is an archaeological site in the Cusco Region of Peru. Once a fortress of the sacred city, Machu Picchu, it is now also the name of the final section of the Incan Trail between the Sun Gate complex and Machu Picchu. It was believed the steps were a control gate for those who enter and exited the Sanctuary.

It is one of the most important archeological constructions around the Machu Picchu site known formerly as the main entrance. Intipunku is dedicated to the cult of the Inti, the Sun god. Because of its location on a ridge southeast of Machu Picchu, the rising sun would pass through the Sun Gate each year on the summer solstice. This is the first place that one can see the whole sanctuary. Those visiting are able to see the sun rise over the whole mountains by Machu Picchu.
