This is the starting place for building an Inca city. Those smart cookies built a model of the terrain out of a rock at the top, near the sun dial. From here they could work out the lay of the land and how the sun moved across it. They had enormous respect for mountains. We are standing on Manchu Piccu, which means Old Mountain, the mountain in this shot it Wayna Piccu. Four years ago an ancient Inca observatory was found there. 400 people are allowed to climb the narrow staircase to the top each day to take in the ruins and the view.
