This an inform about a recent
trip to Cusco, the ancient capital of the Inca State. The historic center of
Cusco is amazing. It reflects the main ability of the Incas to build with I
enjoyed very much to walk through their narrow streets and to see the Inca´s
worked rocks. The most impacting ruins is the Korikancha, with its circular
wall, the main Tawantinsuyu temple.
Another
amazing thing of Cusco it is the food. It is an expensive, and very different.
The person sells food along the roads. Many women sell “choclo” with cheese,
potatoes, eggs and big quantities of different deserts.
My trip had to objectives: 1) to
obtain archaeological bibliography than I need for my thesis. For this reason I
went twice to the University San Antonio Abad, of Cusco and I took many
photocopies and, 2) to visit the most important Inca quarries of Cusco:
Rumiqolca and Kachiqata. From these places
they obtained the rocks to build all the big construction of Cusco and Ollantaytambo,
respectively.
I´m very happy with the results
of my trip. I obtained what I was looking for. I hope I will come back soon,
because there are many other things to see, like Sacsahuaman fortress,
Machupichu and the Inca Road.
