The peeks and valleys surrounding Machu Picchu like a wreath are almost more beautiful and awing than the site itself. It is lush and rugged terrain with the Urubamba River weaving drunkenly through. From Machu Picchu Mountain you can really get a sense of the high protected plateau Machu Picchu was built on and how remote and inaccessible the site is. It is simply gorgeous country.

The 'Lost City of the Incas' perches on a mountain saddle 8,000 feet above sea level, its dry-stone temples and terraces overlooking the Urubamba River in Peru's Sacred Valley.

At Peru’s Ñaupa Iglesia, Precision Stonework and Portal Legends Converge in the Sacred Valley Narrator Jay Anderson documents Ñaupa Iglesia in Peru’s Sacred Valley, highlighting high-precision stonework, interlocking bedrock features, and a carved ‘false doorway’ with no visible tool marks. Local traditions describe the site as a harmonically responsive gateway, with legends of frequencies unlocking a portal linked to an Incan sun disk.

The #Ingapirca #ruins are the best-preserved Inca archaeological ruins in #Ecuador. Built by the #Inca Empire during the late 1400s, it includes the Temple of the Sun, Storage chambers (colcas), ceremonial patios, burial sites, and yes, iconic cut-stone walls. #photography #travel #history

The Inca Tern is listed as Near Threatened on the official IUCN Red List site due to a decreasing population trend. It is native along the coasts of Peru all the way south to Central Chile. It breeds mainly on cliffs and islands in appropriate holes or cavities. This tern feeds (in large flocks) mainly on fish such anchovies, mote sculpin and silversides whereby it requires on coastal upwelling to bring the food from the Humboldt current (it will also consume invertebrates). It dives into the water to catch its prey. The population fluctuates regularly due to storms and El Niño events (which reduce the anchovies -its favourite food source). This is a special bird as it is the sole member of the Larosterna genus (Larosterna Inca).
