The market has stands that exhibit and sell products manufactured by the residents of the area. You will then have lunch at the agreed restaurant and will arrive in Ollantaytambo, a typical example of the urban planning of the Incas, whose residents still live in accordance with their old traditions. Inca Pachacutec (1438-1471) conquered the town, destroyed it and built a new one, absorbing it as part of his empire. The Ollantaytambo Fortress is a huge archaeological complex which, although it bears the name of fortress, it was actually a tambo, a leisure city used to accommodate the delegations that traveled long distances. Without a doubt, it is one of the most monumental works of the Inca Empire.

On the other hand, Maras is surreal sight. It is an impressive complex of salt mining. These are large deposits of salt that were used to trade for other products with other regions of the empire.

In Aguas Calientes you will find a train station, a handicraft market, restaurants and accommodations of many different categories for those who would prefer to spend the night at the foot of the mountain and climb to the top in the early morning. Finally, after a short trip, you will arrive in Machu Picchu, a masterpiece of engineering and architecture which is believed to have served as a sanctuary and resort for Inca Pachacútec (1438-1471).

You can visit the Intipunku, which means "Gateway of the Sun" in Spanish, and it is the last stop before entering Machu Picchu if you follow the Inca Trail from Ollantaytambo. It was a sort of guardhouse and the Sun rises through this gateway every day if it is contemplated from the most important buildings of the citadel. You can also climb the Wayna Picchu (subject to availability of space), the "Young Mountain", as opposed to Machu Picchu. It takes around an hour to reach the top, and its main attraction is the "Temple of the Moon", an underground building complex probably conceived for the entertainment of the nobles. Finally, you will visit the Inca Bridge, an incredible stone construction which served to enter and exit the citadel, and which shows a large void in the middle, over which the Incas put two wooden boards. Thus, the Incas were able to isolate the city by just removing those boards, protecting themselves. You will return to the Aguas Calientes train station in the afternoon to board your train back to the Ollantaytambo station Lunch Included at Chullpi Restaurant –Aguas Calientes Board the Vistadome Train from Aguas Calientes to Ollanta Station A transportation service with a representative will pick you up from the Ollantaytambo train station at the established time, and will transfer you to your hotel in Cusco City.

It is a huge fortress made of large stones which transportation is still a mystery. Return to the city to continue your tour along the San Blas neighborhood, originally inhabited by the Inca nobility who built impressive stone constructions within walking distance of the Plaza de Armas. Unmistakable Inca walls can still be seen at the base of many buildings. Today the neighborhood is a delightful cluster of cobblestone streets popular among artisans who sell their handcrafts on the street. Continue to the cathedral. This is the most impressive monument in the Plaza de Armas. Its construction began in 1560 and ended only in 1654. It took nearly a century to complete. For this purpose hundreds of stones were extracted and transported from the fortress of Sacsayhuaman under the command of the Ecclesiastical Council and the burden of thousands of Indians.

  • Inca Archaeoastronomy
    Steven R. Gullberg, Ph.D. Coordinator for Archaeoastronomy College of Professional and Continuing Studies University of Oklahoma Norman, Oklahoma, USA Chair, International Astronomical Union Working Group for Archaeoastronomy and Astronomy in Culture [email protected] © Steven R Gullberg Astronomy was an integral part of Andean mythology and creation, and was at the very heart of the Incas’ religion and agriculture. The Incas proclaimed themselves to be the children of the Sun. They worshipped it and viewed their emperor as being the Sun’s direct descendant. The civilization of the Incas was built upon cultures that had preceded them such as the Huari, Nasca, and Chavin. Their period of dominance, lasting only a century, was far too short to independently develop such advanced forms of religion, social structure, construction, and astronomy. The Incas were adept assimilators of knowledge, both what was available at the time of their empire’s inception, as well as that of the many tribes conquered during their reign. The Emperor, Pachacuti, his son, and grandson successively built the largest empire ever known in the Americas, 4800 km from Chile to Columbia. They established armies in fortresses at distant stations with the infrastructure of roads and storehouses that was necessary to support them. Temples and shrines were constructed as a part of exerting state control over its subjects, as well as pilgrimage centers designed to reinforce the legitimacy of royal rule over the populace. The Incas made solar worship the official religion of their empire. Pachacuti imposed it across the realm, maintaining that he was the son of the Sun and his wife the daughter of the Moon.

  • June 2008 DIVERSITY/CULTURAL CELEBRATIONS
    June 2018 Spokane Diversity/Cultural Events LGBT Pride Month June was selected as Gay and Lesbian Pride month due to the three-day protest in 1969 at the Stonewall Inn in New York City. This event marked the first time that the gay community joined together to fight for their rights, thereby gaining national attention. The anniversary of this event was one of the reasons June was chosen as the national proclaimed month to celebrate GLBT pride. African-American Music Month For generations, African-Americans have created music that communicates across racial boundaries, initially through spirituals while under the bondage of slavery and through modern genres of blues, jazz, ragtime, gospel, and hip hop. June honors the pioneers of African-American music and their legacy, and today’s music artists. The website http://blackmusicamerica.com/ is preserving and promoting the legacy and contributions of Black musicians. Originally started as Black Music Month by President Carter, President Obama has announced the observance under its new title. National Aboriginal History Month (Canada) Aboriginal History Month is an opportunity not only to recognize the historic contributions of Aboriginal peoples to the development of Canada, but also the strength of present-day Aboriginal communities and their promise for the future. National Caribbean American Heritage Month A celebration of the significance of Caribbean people and their descendants in the history and culture of the U.S. In June 2005, the House of Representatives unanimously adopted H.
