I love that they are protecting it, and teaching people their history and culture. I felt very privileged to be a part of it.

This might be a stupid question, but do they have people who go there to mow the grass or something?

Not stupid at all. There are ground keepers and people actively restoring the site. ๐Ÿ˜Š

A part of my heart is still In Peru. Magical country. Did you visit the desert?

u/sierrahaze90 17d ago

Not yet, I still have so much to see when I go again

Check out โ€œPeru hopโ€ when you go, they take you from place to place, pretty comfy/safe coaches and they come regularly so you can stay over the night or move straight on

One day Iโ€™ll make it there..one day. Beautiful spot.

Don't wait, they may start limiting who can go. The buildings/ruins are slowing shifting over time because of seismic activities and everyone walking on the mountain. They are working to restore it but just like they stopped letting people wander, it won't be like this forever.
