14) Puyupatamarca
03/06/2000 10:10:20 AM
Phuyu Pata Marca was also discovered by Bingham. The baths were thought to be for water worship. But I was doubtful about that idea. But the position of it is not quite suitable for irrigation either. |

03/06/2000 12:55:20 PM
Below we can see the trekker's hotel. A hotel out of the middle of nowhere. It kind of ruined the view. But it's not a real hotel, there isn't any room, you must camp there. |

22) Winaywayna
03/06/2000 3:34:50 PM
Winya Wayna means forever young in Quechua which is also the name of a pink orchid. It looks similar to Intipata, so it might be one of those yin and yang thing of the Incas (for Incas everything has it's counter part, e.g. the river below the valley match the milky way from the heaven.) |
