Interesting ruins and reconstruction of ancient village. Lovely botanic gardens with birds. Good information on the boards in the parks

This hill fortress and look-out post is, I am told, the sole remaining example of a chain of similar defensive devices (possibly as many as 150) built by a pre-Incan tribe that came to develop a sort of federated state incorporating a substantial part of the surrounding region, including areas of Chile, Bolivia and Peru. They were eventually conquered by the Incas and little of their culture remains. However, excavations at this site have earned a rich harvest of artifacts, and the Museum at the foot of the path leading to the Pucara bears ample witness to many of these discoveries. It is hard to imagine that as many as 2,000 persons and their animals inhabited the site in its prime, but the excavations are attractively laid out and can be understood with the help of a guide in English given with the price of admission. The Museum is free, and an attractive cactus garden can be visited for a small fee. There is also a fascinating corral holding Alpacas and Llamas that makes a favourite background for photos. One other point: another reviewer has objected to the erection of a pyramidal entrance that may not have existed in the original. Frankly, I think that this enhances the visual excitement of the site. After all, 95% of Archaeological reconstructions are mere guess-work.

You can easily spend an hour here and the signs are in English and there is an English brochure to pick up.
