The site is perched high atop a cliffside in the Andes Mountains, sitting 2,350 meters above the Urubamba River. The Incas built this incredible estate around 1450 A.D. but abandoned it before the start of the 17th century. While much is still unknown about this palatial city, many historians believe it was built for the Incan Emperor Pachacuti.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The site was famously rediscovered in 1911. Much work has been done to preserve the area for historical purposes and tourism. You can access the site from the town of Aguas Calientes down below or hike the Inca Trail and camp along the road once traveled by ancient explorers. During your time here, make sure to check out the Sacred Rock and hike up to the Sun Gate for a stellar view of the entire citadel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"ollantaytambo\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Ollantaytambo<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"instagram-media\" data-instgrm-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/CV-7XARrYlt\/?utm_source=ig_embed&amp;utm_campaign=loading\" data-instgrm-version=\"14\" style=\" background:#FFF;

Within the site itself, you&#8217;ll find cobblestone roads, small stone structures, and large terraces on the mountainside. It was originally constructed for religious purposes, but it&#8217;s believed the town was rebuilt around 1450 A.D. by Emperor Pachacuti. Eventually, this site fell to the Spanish forces. It was one of the last remaining Incan cities that fought to hold its place in Peru&#8217;s indigenous history.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There is much to see at this ancient site, as it features the Pinkuylluna storehouses, mountain terraces, various fountains and irrigation systems, the Sun Temple, sacred niches, and the Six Monoliths. Take your time and wander through this majestic place of history and mystery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"sacsayhuaman\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Sacsayhuam\u00e1n<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"instagram-media\" data-instgrm-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/CVwK0Kvr7TY\/?utm_source=ig_embed&amp;utm_campaign=loading\" data-instgrm-version=\"14\" style=\" background:#FFF;

and or &#8220;home of the falcon&#8221;. It&#8217;s the largest Incan site known to date. Archeologists believe construction started around 1438 A.D. and was inhabited by the Incans until the Spanish invaded in 1533 A.D. The fortress was built in a zigzag pattern with towering walls to keep out intruders. It contains many warehouses, shrines, and temples. Archeologists say what we see now is only 40 percent of its original structure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When visiting the site, take note of the intricate stonework with airtight seals and massive slabs that were moved 20 kilometers to this spot. No mortar was used by any of the Inca people! Sacsayhuam\u00e1n is also still utilized today in the form of ceremonies and cultural demonstrations that tourists can experience. Book a tour and explore the majesty of these Inca ruins.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"pisac\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Pisac<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"instagram-media\" data-instgrm-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/CDCHd4gjw28\/?utm_source=ig_embed&amp;utm_campaign=loading\" data-instgrm-version=\"14\" style=\" background:#FFF;

These Inca ruins in Peru feature 40 mountain terraces, 20 towers, plazas, temples, and the Intihuatana, which many believe to be a sundial. Historians feel Pisac&#8217;s location was ideal, not only for its positioning to the Urubamba River and the jungle but as a means of defense against attacks on Cusco. It&#8217;s also believed that this was another site conquered by Pachacuti who built upon this area that was already inhabited by pre-Inca tribes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When exploring this sacred land, be sure to look up high in the cliffs. You&#8217;ll see what appears to be tunnels or holes. They are actually burial tombs that contain human remains and treasures. And hey, don&#8217;t forget the altitude. It&#8217;s a long way up but well worth the effort!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"tipon\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Tip\u00f3n<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img  loading=\"lazy\"  decoding=\"async\"  width=\"800\"  height=\"535\"  src=\"data:image\/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAAyAAAAIXAQMAAABetqiKAAAAA1BMVEUAAP+KeNJXAAAAAXRSTlMAQObYZgAAAAlwSFlzAAAOxAAADsQBlSsOGwAAAEtJREFUeNrtwTEBAAAAwqD1T20LL6AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAOBvTEwABjmEN0QAAAABJRU5ErkJggg==\"  alt=\"Tipon, Peru\"  class=\"wp-image-12235 pk-lazyload\"  data-pk-sizes=\"auto\"  data-ls-sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\"  data-pk-src=\"https:\/\/www.tourhero.com\/en\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Tiponperu.jpg\"  data-pk-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.tourhero.com\/en\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Tiponperu.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.tourhero.com\/en\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Tiponperu-300x201.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.tourhero.com\/en\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Tiponperu-768x514.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.tourhero.com\/en\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Tiponperu-110x74.jpg 110w, https:\/\/www.tourhero.com\/en\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Tiponperu-200x134.jpg 200w, https:\/\/www.tourhero.com\/en\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Tiponperu-380x254.jpg 380w, https:\/\/www.tourhero.com\/en\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Tiponperu-255x171.jpg 255w, https:\/\/www.tourhero.com\/en\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Tiponperu-550x368.jpg 550w\" ><figcaption>Image by Tencho via <a href=\"https:\/\/commons.wikimedia.org\/wiki\/File:Tiponperu.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Wikimedia Commons<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The Inca ruins of Tip\u00f3n are perched over 3,000 meters high in the mountains. The city is enclosed by a wall and contains terraces, residential structures, hydraulic water canals, a solar observatory, fountains, and petroglyphs. Many believe Pachacuti or his son built this magnificent place in the early 1400s. However, there is much evidence to support there were pre-Inca groups living here long before.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Tip\u00f3n is a well-preserved site that&#8217;s less crowded than the more popular Inca ruins in Peru based on its location. Come here to relax, explore the beautiful structures, and see the intricacies of the water channels still used today. You can either hike to the top or pay a taxi to take you the majority of the way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"moray\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Moray<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"instagram-media\" data-instgrm-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/BTST9vdh0bc\/?utm_source=ig_embed&amp;utm_campaign=loading\" data-instgrm-version=\"14\" style=\" background:#FFF;

This site contains a series of circular terraces that extend into the ground creating what looks like an amphitheater. Moray features an irrigation system and the remnants of various plant life, which gives scholars insight into its use. However, much is left to the imagination, as there is no written history that confirms Moray&#8217;s purpose.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Some believe it was used as an agricultural research facility where the locals would try farming various types of crops throughout the year. This hypothesis is based on the fact that each layer of the circle offers a different temperature, as there is a 15\u00b0C difference between the top and bottom layers. It&#8217;s clear the Incas used this space to farm but the circular patterning and location are still up for debate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"choquequirao\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Choquequirao<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"instagram-media\" data-instgrm-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/CT2wDT1FXeg\/?utm_source=ig_embed&amp;utm_campaign=loading\" data-instgrm-version=\"14\" style=\" background:#FFF;

Choquequirao translates to &#8220;crib&#8221; or &#8220;cradle of gold&#8221;, and it seems that&#8217;s exactly what the site reflects. Historians believe Pachacuti and his son added on to an existing village in the 15th century and transformed it into a residential space. Many feel this site was home to political and administrative business, while still honoring the gods with temples for worship. Walking the grounds, you&#8217;ll find warehouses, dormitories, and mansions for respected officials. Be sure to look out for the white stone figures embedded in the terraces!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While Choquequirao is now a place to learn about the past, it was once the last refuge for the Incas, as their land and people were invaded by the Spanish. To enjoy this ancient treasure, you&#8217;ll have to hike and camp along the way as this spot cannot be accessed by roadways. If you&#8217;re up for the journey, hire a local guide to help you get there safely.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"winay-wayna\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Wi\u00f1ay Wayna<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"instagram-media\" data-instgrm-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/CJZhDqTl9so\/?utm_source=ig_embed&amp;utm_campaign=loading\" data-instgrm-version=\"14\" style=\" background:#FFF;

The site mirrors many of the structures found at Machu Picchu, including mountain terraces that overlook the Urubamba River, houses, and fountains. Wi\u00f1ay Wayna is Quechua for &#8220;forever young&#8221; and it seems that sentiment is what you&#8217;ll feel along this passage through time. While there is evidence of religious practice and ritual at this site, many historians wonder if Wi\u00f1ay Wayna was simply a resting place along the 40-kilometer journey.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>During your stay, observe the clouds rolling in over the mountaintops, listen to the far-off waterfalls, and reflect on the hard work the Incas faced as they created this masterpiece on the side of a cliff.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"qoricancha\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Qoricancha<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"instagram-media\" data-instgrm-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/B2kng0GF_CY\/?utm_source=ig_embed&amp;utm_campaign=loading\" data-instgrm-version=\"14\" style=\" background:#FFF;

Its original purpose was a temple to the sun god Inti, but the Spanish pillaged the building and built a church on its foundation. Like many of the other incredible Inca ruins in Peru, Qoricancha was rebuilt by Pachacuti with ornate designs, gold finishings, and shrines. This site was a pilgrimage destination for many Inca citizens and leaders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Today, you&#8217;ll find the colonial-era church of Santo Domingo at this location, but as you tour the grounds, you&#8217;ll see the remnants of the Inca Empire that the Spanish were unable to erase. It&#8217;s easy to see the distinction between the incredible Incan stonework and the more modern architecture that lies atop this sacred space.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"huanuco-pampa\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Hu\u00e1nuco Pampa<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img  loading=\"lazy\"  decoding=\"async\"  width=\"1024\"  height=\"576\"  src=\"data:image\/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAABAAAAAJAAQMAAAApW4aWAAAAA1BMVEUAAP+KeNJXAAAAAXRSTlMAQObYZgAAAAlwSFlzAAAOxAAADsQBlSsOGwAAAF5JREFUeNrtwQEBAAAAgiD\/r25IQAEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAO8GIk8AAbOpTZoAAAAASUVORK5CYII=\"  alt=\"Hu\u00e1nuco Pampa in Peru\"  class=\"wp-image-12237 pk-lazyload\"  data-pk-sizes=\"auto\"  data-ls-sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\"  data-pk-src=\"https:\/\/www.tourhero.com\/en\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/2017.08_Huanuco_pampa4-1024x576.jpg\"  data-pk-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.tourhero.com\/en\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/2017.08_Huanuco_pampa4-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.tourhero.com\/en\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/2017.08_Huanuco_pampa4-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.tourhero.com\/en\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/2017.08_Huanuco_pampa4-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.tourhero.com\/en\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/2017.08_Huanuco_pampa4-110x62.jpg 110w, https:\/\/www.tourhero.com\/en\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/2017.08_Huanuco_pampa4-200x113.jpg 200w, https:\/\/www.tourhero.com\/en\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/2017.08_Huanuco_pampa4-380x214.jpg 380w, https:\/\/www.tourhero.com\/en\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/2017.08_Huanuco_pampa4-255x143.jpg 255w, https:\/\/www.tourhero.com\/en\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/2017.08_Huanuco_pampa4-550x309.jpg 550w, https:\/\/www.tourhero.com\/en\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/2017.08_Huanuco_pampa4-800x450.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.tourhero.com\/en\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/2017.08_Huanuco_pampa4-1160x653.jpg 1160w, https:\/\/www.tourhero.com\/en\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/2017.08_Huanuco_pampa4.jpg 1280w\" ><figcaption>Image by Yo franco via <a href=\"https:\/\/commons.wikimedia.org\/wiki\/File:2017.08_Huanuco_pampa4.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Wikimedia Commons<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Hu\u00e1nuco Pampa was another administrative and political center of the Incas, located in the middle of an important trade route along the Inca highway. Built around 1460 A.D., this location contained 500 storehouses for food and other goods to be bought, sold, and bartered along the 40,000-kilometer road. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Historians believe this site was abandoned by 1539 A.D. when the Spanish arrived and conquered the area. What&#8217;s left is a clear view of the past of this epic empire. Explore this beautiful site with its remaining square, the main palace, baths, and incredible craftsmanship. And don&#8217;t worry about the tourists. Because of its secluded location, you&#8217;ll have all the space and time you need to get the perfect pictures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-css-opacity is-style-wide\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-large-font-size\">About TourHero<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>TourHero is a social travel platform that enables you to travel with like-minded people and fall in love with the journey.
