Sacred Valley, Peru

High in Peru’s Sacred Valley, the Ancasmarca ruins reveal the incredible resourcefulness of the Inca Empire. Built into steep mountain slopes, the site features hundreds of circular stone structures known as qullqas — ancient storehouses designed to preserve crops like maize and potatoes.

These structures weren’t just practical; they reflected the Inca’s deep understanding of their environment. By using the cool, dry mountain air, they created a natural refrigeration system that kept food fresh for months.

Strategically located along major trade routes, Ancasmarca served as a vital storage and distribution hub, ensuring that communities across the empire were supplied year-round. It stands today as a powerful example of how the Inca mastered both engineering and ecology to thrive in the Andes.
