Intipata Ruins, the place of the Sun. This site is one of the less known of the whole Inca Trail, because you can’t see it at first sight.
The Intipata Ruins is located at 2800 meters above the sea level, near to the Machu Picchu Sanctuary. When you walk along the Inca trail, you might miss that place, because you cannot see in his whole splendor, has a big size and impressive presence.
