Explore Inca Highlights: Circuit 4 and Huchuy Picchu Mountain
- Start the tour by heading to the Stone Quarry, where you will see the impressive Inca stonework. Your guide will explain the techniques used to carve the stones and transport them to other parts of the region.
- Next, visit the Sacred Plaza, which was the central hub of the Inca civilization. Here, you will see the remains of the great buildings and temples that once stood in the area, including the Temple of the Sun.
- After the Sacred Plaza, you will head to the Water Mirrors, where the Incas would conduct religious ceremonies. The mirrors were believed to have spiritual powers and were used for divination and prophecy.
- Then, make your way to Huchuy Picchu Mountain, a small mountain located to the north of the Sacred Valley. The hike up the mountain will take about 2-3 hours, but the views from the top are well worth it. You will see stunning vistas of the surrounding valleys and mountains and the ruins of an Inca settlement that once stood on the summit.
- Finally, you will visit the Condor Temple, which is located near the base of Huchuy Picchu Mountain. This temple was dedicated to the condor, which was a sacred animal in Inca culture. You will see a number of carvings and sculptures of condors, as well as learn about their importance in Inca mythology.
