 THE RUINS OF MAUCALLACTA, NEAR PACARITAMPU 



A small ruin pleasantly located in the Apurimac Valley. This is the principal ruin of 

 the little group which the Incas made the Spaniards believe was the home of their an- 

 cestors. The surrounding country is not naturally defended and the ruins are not dis- 

 tinguished by windows. In other words, this ruin does not fit in with the traditions as 

 described in the text (see pages 409, 410. and 414)-
