View of mountains near the Sun Temple

The Sun Temple block of buildings.

The Coricancha (from the Quechua word Quri Qancha meaning 'Golden Courtyard'), originally named Inti Qancha (' Temple of the Sun') was the most important temple in the Inca Empire, dedicated primarily to Inti, the Sun God. Source: Wiki

This is the most important inca structure in machu picchu

This panoramic image is made up of over 30 shots, joined together using autostitch. If you've ever been interested to see what this magnificent place looks like up close; this is for you! Must be viewed at its original size. (If only flickr didn't have a size limit...)

Site of pre-Inca ruins. The Inca would later come and add their own temples.
