We have a overnight stay here, just prior to the Inca Trail hike. We just managed to see the impressive ruins situationed right next to the town.

The Inca engineering is very impressive. Especially when they didn´t use the wheel for any practical purposes and we´re still in the bronze age.

Their sophisticated calendars and knowledge of agricultural is also impressive.
