So here's the main reason we all came to Peru. To see the beautiful and well-preserved remains of the Inca empire. They created an intricate civilization along the slope of a mountainside! Our guide tried to convey to us just how brilliant the Incas were-- use of natural, raw material, precisely constructed walls and buildings, and brilliant architecture (complete with water distribution systems and built to withstand earthquakes) which supported a highly cultivated urban population and agricultural system. At the end of our walking tour, we climbed up to the House of the Guardians where we had a gorgeous view of a rainbow.
