I was in the Inca heartland of Peru for a week in June - Cusco, the Sacred Valley, and Machu Piccu.
I visited the town square in Cusco on June 24, by chance they day of a massive festival celebrating the winter solstice.



Tambomachay, an Inca water temple near Cusco.

Moray, thought to be an Inca “crop lab” with concentric terraces that have e.g. very different temperatures.


Ollantaytambo, an Incan royal estate and stronghold in the Sacred Valley.



Last, Machu Piccu is of course the star of the show.
