Kevin, Will, Lindsay and I visited Ecuador's best preserved archaeological site, Ingapirca (Wall of the Inca) at the beginning of our trip. Ingapirca was built at the end of the fifteenth century for a place to worship and for a place on the Inca Royal Road to connect Cuzco to Quito. The remains are limited because the Spanish took many of the stones to build nearby cities. Although these ruins are not as big as Machu Picchu, they do illustrate the precision of the Incan stonemasonry.
I so see how everything is so neat and precise. I didn't know that about the Incas.
