Why go
Walking the town reveals how an Inca street layout still structures daily life; climbing toward the archaeological park changes the view to terraces and large fitted stones above the settlement. Its role as a stronghold during Manco Inca's resistance adds a second historical layer to the former royal estate.
What to look for
- Inca street lines remain visible in the inhabited town.
- Terraces climb the slope above the streets.
- Fitted stonework and the Ten Niches enclosure mark the archaeological park.
Useful to know
- Give the town streets and the archaeological park separate time.
- Check the park's current admission arrangements before entering; the town itself is a living community.
