"Inca-Jay" that name does not do this beauty justice. Multi colored Inca-Jay is a much better description and name.
Quite prevalent at lodges where feeders offer bananas and fruit.

There´s another re post of my visit to cusco a couple of years ago. I´m processing these images again and clean the excessive edition they had.
Probably a photo everybody (who visits Cusco) makes. I don't mind. I love the perfectly fitting irregular shaped stones.

My 5th visited of the New Seven Wonders of the World having seen the Colleseum in Rome Italy, the Great Wall in China, Taj Mahal in Agra India, and Petra in Jordan.
Machu Picchu is a 15th-century Inca citadel, located in the Eastern Cordillera of southern Peru, on a 2,430-metre (7,970 ft) mountain ridge. It is located in the Cusco Region, Urubamba Province, Machupicchu District, above the Sacred Valley, which is 80 kilometres (50 mi) northwest of Cuzco. The Urubamba River flows past it, cutting through the Cordillera and creating a canyon with a tropical mountain climate.
Most archaeologists believe that Machu Picchu was constructed as an estate for the Inca emperor Pachacuti (1438–1472). Often mistakenly referred to as the "Lost City of the Incas", it is the most familiar icon of Inca civilization. The Incas built the estate around 1450 but abandoned it a century later at the time of the Spanish conquest. Although known locally, it was not known to the Spanish during the colonial period and remained unknown to the outside world until American historian Hiram Bingham brought it to international attention in 1911.
Machu Picchu was built in the classical Inca style, with polished dry-stone walls. Its three primary structures are the Intihuatana, the Temple of the Sun, and the Room of the Three Windows. Most of the outlying buildings have been reconstructed in order to give tourists a better idea of how they originally appeared. By 1976, 30% of Machu Picchu had been restored and restoration continues.
Machu Picchu was declared a Peruvian Historic Sanctuary in 1981 and a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1983. In 2007, Machu Picchu was voted one of the New Seven Wonders of the World in a worldwide Internet poll.

Inca Jay is now split from the Green Jays of North America, and the latin name has stayed with the Inca Jay !
They are more usually found at the edges of forests, rather than deep in the heart of the trees...
The Inca Dove has a distinctive scaly appearance. It is significantly smaller than the Whitewing or Mourning Dove. In Texas, the Whitewing and Mourning Dove are extensively hunted in season. The Inca Dove is a protected species year-round.
on the steep hillside, which are still in use today. They created the terraces by hauling richer topsoil by hand from the lower lands. The terraces enabled the production of surplus food, more than would normally be possible at altitudes as high as 11,000 feet.

An advert for Inca Kola, the yellow fizzy soft drink from Peru. Apparently Peru is only one of two countries in the World where Coca Cola isn't the number one drink. In Peru it is Inca Kola, in Scotland it is Irn Bro which actually has a very similar taste.

The Inca jay is 29.5–30.5 cm (11.6–12.0 in) in length. The crown can appear mostly white, with blue limited to the frontal crest and nape. A black bib forms a broad band up to the sides of the head as well as a stripe through the eye line and one above it. The breast and underparts typically are bright yellow. The upper parts are rich green. The color of the iris is bright yellow.
