Utilities workers uncovered an Inca wall in downtown Cusco

Peru is a magic world of natural beauty and a wealth of culture and history; visitors can easily prove the hearsay: wherever you go, wherever you walk, echoes of ancient stories filled up your way. And yet, there is a most profound hearsay that says: wherever you dig you’ll find remains of ancient cultures that flourished in these Peruvian lands centuries ago.

Recently, utilities workers prove the later when digging the streets of downtown Cusco, they suddenly bump into an Inca wall 2.50 meters underground. The wall was discovered at the Plaza Limacpampa Grande, one block from the Koricancha Temple. The Cultural National Institute was immediately informed about the discovery, which decided to cover it temporarily to keep it from “huaqueros,” cultural thieves, while planning its future research.
