Peru – Pukapukara – Jeremiah Gilbert Photography

Pukapukara is an archaeological site from the Inca civilization, located in the Andes near Cusco, Peru. Its name comes from the Quechua language, in which puka means “red” and pukara means “fortress.” Perched on a hillside overlooking the surrounding valleys, Puca-Pucara is a fascinating stop for travelers interested in Inca architecture, Andean history, and the network of roads and settlements that connected the Inca Empire.All photos created using the Nikon Z8 with the Nikkor 14-30mm f/4 or 24-200mm f/4 lens.
