Regular readers will recognize this exciting archaeological site. This was a citadel constructed by the ancient Incans back in the 1400s and then for no known reason–soon abandoned. This network of agricultural terraces and dry-stone walls carved into this mysterious mountaintop site is found amidst the well-known Andean peaks. The view comes complete with alpacas and llamas grazing on the nearby slopes.
