bericht van Nicole Carter

Winay Wayna, meaning "Forever Young" in Quechua, is an ancient Inca archaeological site nestled on a mountainside overlooking the Urubamba River in Peru. Built without mortar using perfectly carved stones, this site showcases the architectural prowess and ingenuity of the Inca civilization. Believed to have been constructed in the late 15th or early 16th century, Winay Wayna served as a religious center with ritual baths, ceremonial platforms, and agricultural terraces. Abandoned after the Spanish conquest, it was rediscovered in the 20th century and has since become a popular destination for hikers on the Inca Trail, offering a glimpse into the rich history and culture of the Incas.
