 Temple of the Condor (photo
Bart) by Alain_Smeets
Machu Picchu, a mystery, but what is known? It was a small religious and political capital and it served as a dwelling for the Inka or any high ranked nobles from the Capital, as well as for a selected nobility that had the privilege of having an "Aqllawasi" that was something like a monastery for "Chosen Women" or "Virgins of the Sun". These chosen women are devoted to cult and for service of its privileged population.
According to the buildings that are found in the Inkan City, they estimate that the population has to be around the 1000 people. According to the mummies found by the Bingham expedition about 80% of the Machu Picchu population were women; that is a strong support to assume that there was an important "Aqllawasi" (House of Chosen Women) here. They were probably chosen among the prettiest and most virtuous, they were considered as the Sun's wives.

 From Yanahuara - Depuis
Yanahuara by Maillekeul
An address, good, very nice surrounding, but expensive : Sol del Mar, Jerusalen (not the street of the center of Arequipa !!) 207.
Also a wonderful view of the Misti from the main place of this neighbourhood of Arequipa.
Une des meilleures places pour manger la bouffe typiquement peruvienne (cuy, doble, triple, chicharron...). Mais, je ne vous promet rien sur le gout ! Une bonne adresse, super endroit mais cher : Sol del Mar, Jerusalen (pas celle du centre d'Arequipa !) 207.
Egalement, une superbe vue sur le Misti depuis la place principale de ce quartier d'Arequipa. Leave a Comment Directions: Go up the street Puente Grau, cross the bridge Puente Gran, and turn on your right, then left after 2 minutes walk. Ask for the Mirador
