A shot showing the officials quarters on the foreground left, and just a bit of the agricultural workers and servants quarters in the foreground right.
These terraces are just 1m wide and the bottom one has a 600 meter drop to the Urubamba River below.
Lidy showing off the Inca's fine stonework. The gaps on some of the stones are less than 1mm all around, and no cement was used, which is the reason the city stands in perfect condition today. The only parts that have perished are the thatched roofs, and wooden roof beams. Two structures have had these replaced so it is possible to visualise the finished article.
The Incas built a complex system of gravity fed waterways so there was a continual supply of fresh water spread throughout the city for washing, and drinking.
