Stop off at Parque Arqueologico De Raqchi, a remote village home to some of the most interesting Inca ruins in . The ruins were once part of one of the holiest sites in the Inca empire, a temple that was largely destroyed by the Spanish. Still, the twenty-two stone block columns support the best-preserved and largest Inca roof in the world. Elsewhere around the village, find stalls selling ceramics made in the town: a nice bit of symmetry, given the town's most famous historical site.

This is a good place to stop between Puno and Cusco. Most people look at the center wall remains of the temple, since they are the most prominent. This is a run which should make it obvious that two different builders were responsible (perfectly shaped megalithic foundation with more crude Adobe brick on top). But there are other ancient buildings in the area plus the remains is a wall around the city can be seen along the hilltop. There's more in Raqchi than I expected.

Majestic and beautiful! A very large Incan monument, best seen with a guide, who can explain all of the structures.
-
The temple of highest god of Incas. There was probably also big army during Inca times.
-
These ruins display wonderfully how the average Inca citizen lived. Two of the huts have been restored and the foundations of many others are still preserved. Here you will also find the remains of the temple of the God Viracocha. The village was built around 1400.
