Machu Picchu & Huayna Picchu

2002-11-07

I've walked to the far side of the funerary plain, away from the Caretaker's Hut.  Based on books and conversation and lectures, I've marked the photo to identify some key areas in Machu Picchu.  Hopefully I'm not leading you astray.....

Here's the legend:

1 - The Quarry

2 - The Main Gate to Machu Picchu (from the Inca Trail)

3 - Storerooms and The Restidential Section for the rich and famous

4 - The Principal Temple and The Temple With Three Windows

5 - The Intihuatana Stone, or the hitching post of the sun

6 - The Sacred Stone and the two huts with thatched roofs

7 - The Central Plaza and agricultural terraces

8 - The Residential Section

9 - Huayna Picchu
