Basque expedition found an Inca sanctuary



Most of the adventure has run for the Inca trail in Vraem region. For two weeks amounted rugged mountains up to 5,000 meters and have ventured into the jungle with a rainy weather that has not stopped to rest.
Fortunately Miguel Gutierrez guided by his intuition on a hill 12 hectares at 3,700 meters by the expedition found an Inca cemetery full of graves hidden in caves.

Following this finding, the expedition also found on the western slope of the Vilcabamba’s mountains an Inca ceremonial center to 5,000 meters, where they photographed what they believe are the remains of inns, tombs, carved relics, platforms, Inca roads, stairs and stands.

The whole mountain seems "huge reservoir" whose archaeological and scientific scope is still unknown but believe there may be children buried after being killed in rituals to the god of water during periods of drought.

Basque expedition follows in the footsteps of explorers like Galician Santiago del Valle and Carmen Martin Rubio, also trapped by the mixture of history, magic, myth and legend surrounding the Inca and his lost city of Vilcabamba.
