Most of the tourists head straight to Machu Picchu, myself included. But in the town of Cusco stand the remains of an Incan temple extraordinary for its architecture and scale. Large boulders weighing hundreds of tons are shaped and pieced together seamlessly, without mortar.

Unlike Machu Picchu which remains largely intact, most of the Incan architecture in Cuzco was destroyed in the mid 1500s when the Spaniards arrived. The Spaniards forced the locals to destroy their own temples and then build churches on their remains.
