Pisac Ruins...Sacred Valley of the Incas

All of these pics, with the exception of the pic of me with the Incan statue, were taken at the Pisac ruins in the Sacred Valley of the Incas. Pisac is a 40 minute drive from Cusco. The last photo is a perfect example of Incan terracing. The Incans built the terraces so that they could level out the side of the mountians and grow crops like maize/corn, coca, yucas/potatoes, and beans on the terraces. The Incas built these pueblos and terraces with etreme precision. The aquaducts ruining thru most of the Inca sites are still working to this day!




This Sunday, May 21; I board a bus for Copacabana, Boliva, which is on Lake Titicaca...
