The Incas

Join us on this you-are-there photographic journey with compelling images and insightful commentary.

Our explorations took us from iconic Machu Picchu to mountain-terraced agriculture and sophisticated irrigation canals, still in use today. The sophistication of a culture is measured by its advances in science, agriculture, architecture, engineering, social structure and art. What we refer to as the Inca Empire rivaled those in Europe, Africa and Asia. The Incas were not the creators of the great Andean civilization. They were its inheritors. Beginning 3 thousand years ago Peru had a succession of sophisticated cultures that culminated in the Inca. These diverse and often hostile cultures were united by the conquering Inca, under one social structure and language. They coordinated all the advances of science and engineering learned to date. They united the Andean cultures and empires into one civilization.
