The church tower of Raqchi View from the church tower of Raqchi Raqchi, The temple of Viracocha The temple was built to appease Viracocha after he had caused the nearby volcano Quimsi Chata to spew out fiery boulders
The temple was once one of the holiest shrines of the Inca Empire 22 circular columns made of stone blocks helped to support the largest known Inca roof The central wall is adobe above and Inca masonry below Detail of the fine Inca masonry in the central wall
Nearby the temple is a complex of barracks-like buildings, probably the residence of the nobles The site is scattered with numerous buildings and plazas The 200 cylindrical warehouses are the remaining testimony to the degree of social organisation attained by the Incas Each warehouse measures some 6 metres in diameter by 2.5 in height

G'day John - absolutely spectacular photography of incredible and fascinating sites around Peru - how I would have loved to accompany you, even knowing you must have experienced some fairly unpleasant happenings during the period of time spent travelling to these truely wonderous places. A tour de force! Many thanks. Martin.

Hey, this pictures were great, what I loved is that you show places to which tourists don't normally go or don't know about. I'm one of those, actually. I'm from Buenos Aires, Argentina, and I'm going to Peru in January. As there's not much information on the internet (or anywhere, to be honest) about this places (Waiki, Waqra Pucara, etc.) I'd really appreciate it if you could contact me and give me some useful information. Thanks a lot in advance! My mail is andres10 at gmail.com and my name Andres.
