Llactapata
Llactapata is located at 2,840 meters (9,318 feet) above sea level along the Inca trail. It means “High Town” in Quechua. Manco Inca Yupanqui burned Llactapata during his retreat to discourage Spanish pursuit. The Spanish never discovered the Inca trail or any of its Inca settlements due to these efforts. Llactapata was probably used for crop production and storage.
