PMR655-08 Peru, Cusco, Pisac: In the vicinity of Pisac and the "Sacred Valley" a number of important Inca sites are to be found. The ruins of Intihuatana, the Temple of the Sun, another part of the Inca Pisac complex (higher than Pisaqa), which contained temples and baths, and had an astronomical significance. In this view the excellence of the construction techniques used by the Incas can be appreciated. The cylindrical protrusions were for pegging the roof. Keywords: High Andes, Cuzco, Qosqo, Inca architecture, Urubamba Valley
