Cobblestone streets of the Inca Sacred Valley / Calles empedradas del Valle Sagrado Inca

[astrolabio]

There is something wonderful in the towns that make up the route of the Inca Sacred Valley near the city of Cusco, which at the time would hold to be the capital of the Inca empire.

I was in Urubamba and Ollantaytambo, and despite being one of the places with the highest tourist flow due to the number of archaeological sites from the Inca era and because it is the main route to access Machu Pichu, it is always possible to find off the main roads , real material and ethnic vestiges of the ancient Andean culture.

the cobbled streets of these towns are the ones that testify to those origins that have still coexisted for 500 years with the impact of the clash with western culture.

The residential houses, many preserve the old Inca portals, combining overlapping or combined with mixed techniques of Western construction, and the sun bathes the afternoons in a special light in that valley at the foot of majestic snow-capped mountains.

Calles empedradas del Valle sagrado Inca

Hay algo maravilloso en los pueblos que conforman la ruta del Valle Sagrado Inca cerca de la ciudad de Cusco, la que en su momento detentaría ser la capital del imperio Inca.

Estuve en Urubamba y en Ollantaytambo, y a pesar de ser uno de los lugares de mayor flujo turístico por la cantidad de yacimientos arqueológicos de la época Inca y por ser la ruta principal al acceso a Machu Pichu, siempre es posible encontrar fuera de los caminos principales, reales vestigios materiales y etnicos de la cultura milenaria andinA.

las calles empedradas de estos pueblos son las que atestiguan esos orígenes que aún conviven desde hace 500 años con el impacto del choque con la cultura occidental.

Las casas residenciales, muchas conservan los viejos portales incas, combinando solapados o combinados con técnicas mixtas de construcción occidental, y el sol, baña las tardes una luz especial en ese valle a las faldas de majestuosos nevados.

Excelente, he disfrutado cada imagen, las has captado con gran sensibilidad y son muy elocuentes... Amé esa en donde se ve el tejado de la casa, me sentí de pié en mirando esa estrechísima calle empedrada (un callejón diría yo) en su versión en la que está sola sin nadie en al fondo... Hermoso post, muchas gracias por compartir.

Excellent, I enjoyed every image, you have captured them with great sensitivity and they are very eloquent... I loved the one where you can see the roof of the house, I felt like I was standing there looking at that very narrow cobbled street (an alley I would say) in the version where she is alone with no one in the background... Beautiful post, thank you very much for sharing.
