Thorsten
Walked settlement built by the Huari culture in a Scenic setting. Long rows of rectangular courtyard structures surrounded by a wall. Some view points.
River
Pikillaqta was a peaceful and underrated site. It is very different from the other Inca ruins, with long straight walls and a large layout. You can see how the Wari people built this city before the Inca came. It feels quiet and open, with great views of the valley and lake nearby. There were very few people when we visited, which made it more enjoyable. If you are interested in history and like visiting places without crowds, this one is worth the stop.
Jerry
Very amazing site, not too crowded. It was built by the Wari/Huari, who were eventually conquered by the Inca (coming from Lake Titicaca). But many of their technologies and knowledge were preserved in the Incan empire.
David
It's very interesting to see the difference in the architecture of this pre Inca civilization. It's amazing how vast the site is. If you went without a tour, I'm sure you could find some interesting stuff uphill. It was fine with a tour as well.
Todd
This ancient did was more incredible than I expected. The wall around the entire city has sections of double-walked pathways and it appears some buildings may have been a couple stories high. The community layout here was very well organized and it was peaceful place to walk around. These ruins were a pleasant surprise.
