Inca Road, Andes Peru
Road trip along the Inca Road from Sacred Valley to the Inca Morays at 11,500 ft above.
Nice 9 minute video- Road trip in the Andes.
(Yes the beginning is rough, I didn't have the time to smooth out bumps. Hopefully the music is cool. I noticed if settings are HD it looks a little bit better. YouTube default = grainy.)
This is along the Inca Road. Part of it. The green Valley down the middle is Sacred Valley and the Morays at the top are where the Incans experimented with corn genetics and agriculture, breeding many exotics ????????
55 different varieties & colors of corn in Peru!
Moray: Original crop circles lol! Or is it an Inca spaceport ????
Wiki on the Moray:
Local Market in the Sacred Valley near Cusco Peru
The sixth day of my South American trip.
Today was spent on a bus tour around the Sacred Valley in Cusco, Peru.
a 20 minute stop at a market where I pick up a wood carving.
The Sacred Valley of the Incas or Urubamba Valley is a valley in the Andes of Peru, close to the Inca capital of Cusco and below the ancient sacred city of Machu Picchu. The valley is generally understood to include everything between Písac and Ollantaytambo, parallel to the Urubamba River, or Vilcanota River or Wilcamayu, as this Sacred river is called when passing through the valley. It is fed by numerous rivers which descend through adjoining valleys and gorges, and contains numerous archaeological remains and villages. The valley was appreciated by the Incas due to its special geographical and climatic qualities. It was one of the empire's main points for the extraction of natural wealth, and the best place for maize production in Peru.

Cuzco City - Peru - Southamerica
Cusco, the sacred city, center of pilgrimages and worship, had to be a city worthy of its importance. Therefore, Pachakuteq the transformer, decided to reconstruct it and to place in her great splendor.
The city's architects decided its shape, one of a crouching feline, a puma. The astronomers planned a complex system of sanctuaries carefully aligned with the stars, to correspond to a gigantic calendar, that would also have functions of social and festive organization. The hill was transformed and molded. The higher part corresponded to the great head of the puma, became Saqsaywaman, a multifunctional fortification that was at the same time, a temple, refuge, observatory, and center for great and massive reunions. The spine of puma was delineated by the street of Pumakurko. In that way, as the spine, flowed the Life of the Empire conducting the orders from the head to the different parts of the body. The plaza, a palpitating heart of the city was where feelings and the beating of civil life resided.
The two rivers that bordered the city unite in Pumaqchupan (the tail of the puma). There Qorikancha, which shined in splendor, its temples of stone and gold contained a garden of gold where the plants, animals and other offerings were made of gold, silver and precious stones. It was thus a city of fable. But more than its wealth or its architectural wonder in the city of Cusco, its overflowing sacred value, and its political importance, because from here, was governed a great territory as big as the Roman Empire, and from her palaces and streets a society was developed with balance and justice.
When the bearded men came from the sea and arrived at Cusco, they were fascinated by her wealth, and wrote in their chronicles, giving account to the King for such greatness. Perhaps they never understood the magnitude of their discoveries, they tried to cover with stone and plaster the ancient structures. But on the other hand, overwhelmed by the greatness of Cusco, they decided to make it greater. Thus Cusco becomes the most important center of evangelism in the Americas. Few have reflected that perhaps there will never again be in the history of humanity such an impressively rich encounter.
The Inkas of the 16th century were without doubt, the expression of the greatest genius that pre-columbian America produced. A social and technologicaly harmonious development, an empire of contented men and on the other hand, Spain was the most important power in Europe, having been enriched by 400 years of Arab domination. Consequently, the science, and architecture of the Moors came to America.
The encounter of both worlds of the planet which had developed the most, produced a mestization whose wealth was very difficult to assimilate. We, the proud Cusqueños, can say that the best of America and of the West had its crucible in this land.
