These trails have been witness to some important historical events concerning this place.

Apart from growing the crops, this agricultural field was also used as a place for some religious ceremonies and for providing shelters to the soldiers. One the third day of the trek, people come across the Sayacmarca which is also known as the ‘inaccessible town’. It has been given such title because this town is located on top of some dangerous cliffs that haunt the people.  From this place a person can view some grand sights of the Andes Mountains. Following the way, a person will also come across the Phuyupatamarca also known as ‘town above the clouds’. This place is surrounded by a complex irrigation system.

On the final day of trekking, a person reaches Machu Picchu Mountains after leaving Winaywayna. On reaching the mountain a person comes across the ‘gateway of the sun’.
