Peru’s Quechua Indians: Culture and family traditions of the Inca descendants (Andes, Cusco Region)
Traditional knowledge and ritual practices are part of the cultural heritage of the communities surrounding the Qeswachaka Bridge in Peru. Their close relationship with the Pachamama (mother nature) has allowed them to survive in one of the most inhospitable places on the planet: the heart of the Peruvian Andes at 4000 meters above sea level.
Click here to see the documentary about the annual renovation of the Qeswachaka Bridge by the Andean communities:
Our protagonist, Victorian, is a Chakaruwak or bridge maker, he lives with his family in the paramo. His wife is in charge of the preparation of the food and the home. His son, Vidal, studies in Lima and debates between the comforts of the city or the beauty of the traditional. This is an increasingly popular debate among the new generations that is raising the alarm of the elderly: they fear the loss of their customs and the oblivion of their people.
Indigenous Peruvians cultures were developed here for thousands of years before the arrival of Spaniards, their history, the history of the Quechua people, begins many years before the Inca civilization rose to power. Today, the Quechua people are not a single ethnic group, but rather several indigenous groups scattered throughout South America.

Peru: The Real Gold of the Incas | Global 3000
The humble potato is known the world over. But native Peruvian varieties can look quite a bit different than most of us are used to. Some are red or blue, others are long and skinny. More then 4,500 potato varieties are grown in Peru. The wealth of varieties is a natural treasure that's worth preserving, especially in the face of climate change.

In this system there was a federal government and four provincial government. Head of the federal system was Emperor Inca. And head of the other provincial government was Inca nobles. Pachacuti is also known to be the creator of Machu Picchu.

Inka Engineering Symposium 3: Cusco, Inka Capital: Planning and Construction
In Part 3 of Engineering the Inka Empire: A Symposium on Sustainability and Ancient Technologies, Crayla Alfaro Aucca, José Alejandro Beltrán-Caballero, Ricardo Mar present Cusco, Inka Capital: Planning and Construction. Cusco is crucial to the understanding of the Inka plan of imperial integration. The Inka Road, or Qhapaq Ñan, diverged out from Cusco to integrate the four corners of Tawantinsuyu, the Inka Empire. This interdisciplinary team discusses major new research on Inka urbanism to understand the cosmological and physical plan and construction of the imperial City of Cusco, systematically transformed and mostly destroyed after the Spanish arrival in 1533. New empirical and technical data clarify interpretations of how Inka engineers successfully solved actual construction problems, management of local, human, and natural resources, and how the application of common sense can evolve into engineering knowledge.
Crayla Alfaro Aucca is an architect with a graduate degree in Cultural Heritage Management. Her research focuses on the historical evolution of the City of Cusco. As manager of the historic section of the Provincial Municipality of Cusco, Alfaro promotes the development of research projects and dissemination of the cultural heritage of the historic City of Cusco. She has participated in the management and urban renewal of public spaces and housing in the historic section of Cusco. Alfaro is also responsible for the editorial direction of the Municipality. She has published the following books (in Spanish): Cusco monumental: Ombligo del mundo; Machu Picchu santuario del cusco: Cien años para el mundo; Cusco monumental: Ombligo del mundo II; Antología quechua del Cusco: Qosqo Quechwasimipi Akllasqa Rimaykuna; Cusco: Identidad y desarrollo, and Cusco y la herencia del barroco andino. (Crayla was unable to present at the symposium.)
José Alejandro Beltrán Caballero holds a PhD in Architecture and is an Associate Researcher of the Seminar on Ancient Topography at the Universitat Rovira i Virgili. Specializing in Landscape Interpretation and Ancient Cities, Dr. Beltrán Caballero has collaborated on projects to virtually reconstruct archaeological sites in Europe (Tarragona and Rome) and in South America (Cusco).
Ricardo Mar is a Professor of Classical Archaeology at Universitat Rovira i Virgili in Tarragona, Spain. Holding graduate degrees in architecture (PhD, 1988), he specializes in ancient Roman urbanism, with major archaeological field experience in Rome and in Tarragona. He has been involved in restoration projects and patrimony assessments in Italy, France, Portugal, and Spain, including as director of the reconstruction project on Tarraco, the ancient Roman city beneath modern Tarragona.
This symposium was webcast on November 14, 2013 from the Rasmuson Theater at the National Museum of the American Indian in Washington, D.C.
Inka Road Symposium 07 - The Inka Empire: Political Power and Economic Structure
This special symposium celebrates the opening of the National Museum of the American Indian’s landmark exhibition, The Great Inka Road: Engineering an Empire, with a fascinating look at the material, political, economic, and religious structures that integrated more than one hundred Native nations and millions of people in the powerful Andean Empire known as the Tawantinsuyu. In this segment, Terence D’Altroy, Columbia University, speaks on The Inka Empire: Political Power and Economic Structure.
Terence D’Altroy is the Loubat Professor of American Archaeology in the Department of Anthropology and Director of the Center for Archaeology at Columbia University in the City of New York. His research interests lie in the study of empires, especially the Inkas of Andean South America, with a topical focus on both the organizational and the intellectual foundations of imperial rule. Since 1969, he has conducted fieldwork in Perú, Argentina, the United States, and Mexico. Among his (co-)authored and (co-)edited books are The Incas (2d ed., 2014), The Incas: Inside an American Empire (2004), Empire and Domestic Economy (2002), Empires (2002), and Provincial Power in the Inka Empire (1992).
The symposium was recorded at the Rasmuson Theater of the National Museum of the American Indian on June 25-26, 2015.

Moray by Cusco, Peru
Moray, a very unique site in the region of Peru. It is because of its climate conditions and many other characteristics, was an important center of development of wild vegetable species that were modified or adapted for human consumption. Therefore, it is a prototype of a greenhouse or experimental biological station.
It is suggested that there must be underground channels built by the depressions' bottom allowing water to drain. It is also argued that the bottom is over a very porous natural rock formation that enables water filtering toward the earth's interior; the truth is that even today, in the rainy season the water don't flood.
During the rainy season of 2009-2010, the region of Cusco received high levels of rain that have not been seen before, which caused permanent damage to the ruins of Moray. The terraced levels of the complex, which are constructed from stone and compacted earth, were damaged extensively as the excessive rain waters undermined the ground beneath the structure.
Thank-you for all your comments and viewing the video. I have other videos I would like you to view.

Inka Trail | Walking to Machu Picchu | RTW | Swedes in Peru
We are so happy to be able to share our amazing adventures hiking the ancient Inka trail.
The adventure starts in Lima with a few hopeful strangers and ends with exhausted but extremly happy friends at the magical Machu Picchu!
We learn along the way in Sacred Valley about making produce of lama wool and building everything from jewlery to making houses out of clay harvested from the riverbanks.
We grow closer as a group and have the most amazing time with both our guides and the incredible porters.
The landscape is out of a fairytail and when Machu Picchu crowns the end of the adventure,
we culdn´t be happier.
