The real testament to the craftsmanship of Inca stonecutting and engineering of buildings is the fact that after so many centuries, so much of Machu Picchu walls and buildings are still standing – even though this is historically a region rocked by earthquakes. In this image, you see how slabs were notched and fitted together so snugly that nothing like concrete, cement or adobe was even needed. Machu Picchu, Peru.

The Inca people were fabulous stonemasons, as you can see from this doorway, built over 500 years ago in Cuzco, Peru. When the Spanish arrived they destroyed most Inca buildings, but preserved many of the stone foundations and built their own buildings on top of them.

One of the most remarkable experiences during my time in Peru was spending several morning observing a colony of these beautiful terns.
During the first and last hours of the days the colony would burst in activity. Amazing numbers of terns will head out into the ocean to fish and gain energy for the night. Taking advantage of the good light, I sat down on the rocks beside the colony and waited for one of them to fly by carrying a fish. After a several minutes of waiting one flew close enough for my to get a good shot.

No mortar! When the Spanish conquered Cusco, Peru, they destroyed much of the Inca stonework and used the stone to rebuild their own structures. Yet, some of the Spanish Colonial buildings are built on undestroyed foundations of Inca craftsmanship. Interestingly, the Spanish buildings fall during earthquakes, yet the unmortared Inca works persevere.

Clima en el Camino
:El clima en la zona del Camino Inca es, por lo general, templado durante todo el año. La mejor época para realizar el trekking es durante la estación seca (entre abril y octubre). Junio es el mes más frÃo y agosto ofrece un clima más templado y estable. De noviembre a marzo, las lluvias son frecuentes y el camino puede convertirse en un peligroso y resbaladizo lodazal.
Durante la caminata, es seco en los dos primeros dÃas y húmedo en el tercero y cuarto. Y durante la noche los dos primeros campamentos suelen ser frÃos, pero el tercer campamento es templado.
Inca Trail Description:
Visitors come from all parts of the world to Peru, not only to see Machu Picchu but to walk the Inca Trail, the most famous hike in South America. They come to see the ruins and the scenery which makes this trail so famous. The total distance of the Inca trail is approximately 43 kilometres, departing from the place known as Kilometre 88. To begin the trip, one crosses the narrow bridge at Kusicancha, and afterwards heads towards the left hand side of a forest of Eucalyptus trees. Camping on this night is either in Wayllabamba or Llullucha. The second day is more difficult, as you have to climb to 4200 metres at the Pass of Warmiwañusqa (Dead Woman’s pass). The third day is the longest, but also the most interesting for many people as you can visit impressive ruins like Runkuracay and Sayaqmarca. Camping is either in Phuyupatamarca or Wiñayhuayna. On the final day many groups leave early to see the sun rise over Machu Picchu from the Inti Punku (sun gate). The remainder of the day is spent exploring this fabulous ancient city.

As we were leaving the rest area, this Inca Goddess tried to hitch a ride. We voted and majority ruled so she got picked up.
The Inca Trail is by far the most famous trek in South America and is rated by many to be in the top 5 treks in the world. In just 26 miles (43km) it manages to combine beautiful mountain scenery, lush cloud-forest, subtropical jungle and, of course, a stunning mix of Inca paving stones, ruins and tunnels. The final destination of the trail just cannot be beaten: Machu Picchu, the mysterious "Lost City of the Incas".
