PERU HOLIDAY AND TRAVEL NEWS

Cusco is somewhere most people visit on their Peru holiday and a new discovery seems set to add even more to the amazing historical riches the Inca capital has to offer.

Archaeologists working on the site of the Inca fortress of Sacsayhuaman, just outside Cusco, have discovered what appears to be a temple dating back beyond the start of the Inca period with continuous use right up to the Spanish conquest. Made of stone and adobe, the temple complex includes 11 rooms thought to contain mummies and ritual objects.
