Cusco

Chincheros

Village surrounded by permanent snowfields situated 28 km from Cusco in where the stone is the main protagonist. Chincheros has a rich monumental and cultural heritage. It is one of the few places in Cusco that visibly maintains the Incan urban design. The remains of the Incan palace, the colonial church erected on stone foundations, its impeccable cultivation terraces and a colorful Sunday fair constitute their main attractions.

Its main square has a huge Incan wall decorated with ten large trapezoidal niches, perfectly maintained, and it is also the place in where you can find one of the most significant colonial churches of Cusco with baroque altars and profuse wall paintings.Many of the inhabitants of Chincheros dress like their ancestors. Not only during Sunday fair but everyday, preserving their tradition fervently.

Ollantaytambo

This complex is another national archaeological park located at the traditional district of Ollantaytambo. It is considered a military construction strategically located to protect the city from possible invasions of forest, religious and agricultural ethnos. It is also said that it was constructed to set up roads towards the Antisuyo. The Royal House of the Sun, and the entire Ollantaytambo, still maintains the urban planning design of the Incan times. Its rooms still remind us of the presence of Manco Inca, who confronted Hernando Pizarro in 1537, during the indigenous resistance that lasted many more years. The fortress or Indian temple is composed of seventeen superposed terraces made of large carved stones of red porphyry (pink granite) of over 4 meters high, 2 meters wide and two meters deep.

The walls of the Royal House of the Sun have an internal inclination and the main one is composed of six large-stone blocks with small-stone couplings that are part of the Main Altar.
The Inca Huatana it’s located at the upper part of the Temple of the Sun, on an almost vertical slope. The Inca Huatana or Intihuatana is constituted by a wall with high niches, on whose sides there are security holes of up to 80 cm. deep. In front of them, there is a structure suspended over a cliff, which makes us suppose that it was used to torture and execute war prisoners or malefactors. Even though the astronomic observatory functions is the most accepted theory.

Moray

Archeological complex 6 km from Maras .These are enormous natural depressions in the ground surface that Incas used for constructing irrigated farming terraces around them. What is surprising is that the difference of average annual temperature between the top and the bottom reaches even about 15°C (59°F) in the main depression that is about 30 meters (100 feet) deep. In those natural formations, nature has created an environment, conditions or micro climates that in modern times people create in greenhouses.
Moray, because of its climate conditions and many other characteristics, was an important center of domestication, acclimatization and hybridization of wild vegetable species that were modified or adapted for human consumption. One of the enigmas is the way how drainage for water flowing through the aqueducts worked; it is suggested that there must be underground channels built by the depressions' bottom allowing water to drain. It is also argued that the bottom is over a very porous natural rock formation that enables water filtering toward the earth's interior; the truth is that even today, in the depressions' bottoms there are no floods neither inundation in the rainy season.
