I recently was in Peru so I decided to go to some famous places, one of which was Machu Picchu.  Machu Picchu is the best preserved Inca civilization.  Machu Picchu was in fact abandoned before the spanish came so the spanish had no idea it even existed.  Machu Picchu's population was about 500 but could hold 700 people and yet even though it could hold all those people it didnt have enough terraces to feed 700 people.

                    Another place i visited while i was in peru was saqsaywaman.  saqsaywaman is the Inca Epire's capital.  like other Incan territories its made with dry stone.  Within the capital there is the town square which can hold over a thousand people in it at once.  Also located in Saqsaywaman is three massive terrace walls which i would assume is used for defense.

                 The last place i visited was huacapacllana.  The huacapcllana is pretty much a big clay pyramid.  It gets its name from the word "pluclla" meaning "play."  The strucure is surrounded by a plaza or town square.  There are however two sections to this landmark seperated by a big wall.  All in all Peru is a great place.
