Kanamarka impressed me more than Machu Picchu! No entrance fees, no waiting lines no people standing in front of your camera. And a beautiful conserved big area of pre inca buildings

Good example of pre-Inca and Inca architecture. There is also what appears to be the remains of a colonial church, adapted from an earlier temple. They should put better signage, reference texts and continue with the excavations and discoveries

A place near the city of Yauri, about fifteen minutes by car, you must take a detour that is marked on the track. According to history, this place was inhabited by the Canas in the late intermediate era where a hybrid between pre-Inca and Inca is noted in the design of the walls. They are currently doing restoration work on the site so there are closed areas. There is also a hacienda on top of the hill in the center.
