Inca ruins at Pisac - Set high above a valley floor patchworked by patterned fields and rimmed by vast terracing, the stonework and panoramas at Pisac's Inca citadel are magnificent. Terraces, water ducts and steps have been cut out of solid rock, and in the upper sector of the ruins, the main Sun Temple is equal of anything at Machu Picchu. Above the temple lie still more ruins, mostly unexcavated, and among the higher crevices and rocky overhangs several ancient burial sites are hidden.

Tambomachay - High quaility stonework, a double-jam doorway, and the four large, outward-facing niches all indicate that the site was an important shrine to the Incas. Despite the importance of the site to the Incas, the original name is uncertain. Cobo (1653) tells us that Tambomachay was a house: "...The ninth [holy place] was named Tambomachay; it was a house of Inca Yupanpui where he lodged when he went hunting." Bernabe Cobo, 1653.

Sacsayhuaman - Cuzco was envisioned to represent a puma with Sacsayhuaman as head. Large parts of the site has been destroyed in the colonial era as the spainards used the stones of the sites to build their own houses. What remains is still impressive.
