This is in Chinchero, on the plateau around 12K feet.
Real thin air, but lots of fun.
I had no problem running around.
These are massive Inca foundations, probably had a sizable temple sitting on it.
Those can be seen everywhere.
Spaniards tore everything down, except the foundations. Used them for their churches and structures.

Look at all those abandoned terraces. Think how many people were living there when they built all of them. They needed the additional space to grow food.
