The start of my ‘sacred valley of the inca’ mission.
-
- These ruins have been rebuild to what they might have looked like 400 years ago.
-
- Looking up to what was likely the fortress.
-
- The retaining walls grow taller as you go higher up on the mountain.
-
- The vast farmland behind me has the same stone retaining walls as the site off the ruins, but are still in use today.
-
- Believed to be the Sun and Moon temples.
-
- Looking down at the farmland the city.
-
- I am posing in front of the old city of Pisac.
-
- The best 'preserved' ruins in Pisac. It likely means that they were just the easiest to restore.
-
- The hill has been leaved into steps for farming creating the 'amphitheater' look.
