Pikillaqta

Just made a short detour to the pre-Incan city of Pikillaqta, where you can see many examples of architectural principles that the Inca borrowed.

Among them:
- inward sloping walls, to protect against earthquakes
- square city blocks
- two-story architecture

[Although we took plenty of pictures, I can only post ones that I take with the phone at the moment.]
