We were constantly amazed at what the Inca people had done so many years ago. It simply boggles your mind at what they built and created. As we climbed to the top of Ollantaytambo, we stopped and marveled at this Inca King figure built into the mountain side.

Inca Kola (also known as "the Golden Kola" in international advertising) is a soft drink that was created in Peru in 1935 by British immigrant José Robinson Lindley using lemon verbena ] The soda has an unusual sweet, fruity flavour that somewhat resembles its main ingredient, lemon verbena, locally known as hierba luisa. Americans compare its flavour to bubblegum or cream soda. It has been described as "an acquired taste" whose "intense colour alone is enough to drive away the uninitiated.

Puente del Inca
Puente del Inca (Spanish "The Inca's Bridge"), is a natural arch that forms a bridge over the Vacas River, a tributary of the Mendoza River. It is located in Mendoza Province, Argentina near Las Cuevas.
Puente del Inca is also the name of the nearby hot springs. Scientists speculate that interaction of extreme elements like ice and hot springs was involved in the origin of the formation. They suppose that in ancient times ice covered the river and acted as support for avalanches of snow, dust and rocks. So the dust over the ice over the river would have served as a path for the sulfurous water and petrified the surface, so when the snow melted, the bridge remained by itself.
In March 1835, Charles Darwin visited this natural marvel, and made some drawings of the bridge with great stalactites.
In the early twentieth century there was a big thermal resort and Spa that used the hot springs to cure some illnesses (a spa still survives further down the river at Cacheuta). There was a train station that is still standing there, and tourists arrived by train to the resort. This was one of the last Argentine stations of the Transandine Railway before the train continued into Chile, traveling through a long tunnel under the Andes.
