Hi all
Here is a place near Quillacollo called Cotapachi.
Linda and I got here by bus and taxi..and yes the taxi broke down, so we got out, paid for his ride and walked to the next taxi. The only map I had was on the tablet and it took a little convincing that my map gps would take us there. Don't think he'd seen that technology.
The site are old Inca ruins and were used to store grain.
You see the towers in the photo, that have been reconstructed for tourists.
The reconstruction was built on the original rock base that was laid by the Inca.
You also the remains of bases in the picture.
Built in long rows with a 2 metre spacing.
In this region there are 2500 of these rock bases so that represents a lot of grain.
The site is a dry ridge above a fertile valley which is currently growing corn.
The locals have some sort of annual festival here to remember the old times.
In LA Paz tomorrow
Sam
