You’ll find an old Inca Palace at #Kusicancha in downtown #Cusco
The foundations lie in a beautiful garden setting. Again, we’re the only visitors.
No tourists come here as it’s not on their “bucket list”. Tourists flock to Cusco for one thing only, Machu Picchu, so sad.
The Palace of Pachakuti Inka Yupanki (1430-1478) was born and lived, Inka ruler of the Tawantinsuyu empire, reveals foundations of eight Inca courts (architectural complexes) in different states of conservation. It is presumed that objects for ritual use (ceramics, textiles), drinks and food were made here for the ceremonies of the main Inca temple, located in front of the Coricancha. Twelve tombs with intact grave goods were found here. (I referred to irrigation channels in error, the waterways are drainage channels of course.)
