Located across the valley from Machu Picchu, Llaqtapata is quite literally a hidden gem. Overgrown by foliage and vegetation, these ruins are just being unearthed. What a treasure! Also, fantastic views of Machu Picchu from here.

Wonder of the world made centuries ago. It is hard to believe the Incas could buid such a fine structure that lasted over the years. The views were amazing just before the rain, visited during the rainy season. One must be in good physical condition to see all the sites, but is was worth it. A gem in Preu.

Called both Patallacta and Llaqtapata, this is one of the first Inca sites you pass along the Inca Trail. You view it from a distance, across the Cusichaca River. You can't get down close to it, but you can see the remains of over 100 dwellings. The village was most likely an agricultural community which took advantage of it's prominent position at the head of the Cusichaca Gorge and supplied food to people further along the Inca Trail. You pass a small guard tower on your side of the river soon after these ruins.

If you do the 4D/3N Inca trail you'll pass above the site. It makes for a great stop along the way. Our tour guide gave us a 20 min class on the Inca Civilization and importance of villages like this.

This was the first ruin we saw along the inca trail. It was unique and magical to look down upon it from up high on a cliff. I highly recommend Sam travel Peru as your trek operator. Good and fair cost, excellent guides, and gourmet food.

This is one of the first ruins we looked at on the Inca Trail. Our guide Hernan Hermoza gave us lots of interesting information about it. We took time to look and absorb this beautiful site. You look down on it from the trail. Amazing. My advice on the Inca Trail Hike is to take time to look around and enjoy the beauty rather than rush to be the first one to get to the next camp. So much to absorb here.

On the Inca Trail, it is the first large Inca site you will see. It is very impressive and would have been great to visit. You will be high above it on the trail and it makes for nice pictures. We were not given an option to visit it.
