En Route to Cuzco

Took a little detour en route to Cuzco coming back from Machu Picchu to see these round terraces, built by Pachacutic – the 9th Inca – at 13,000 ft. They believe he was testing the growth of quinua and corn and beans at high altitudes. Very little water here, amazing views! Hope you can get the gist from these pix!
