View of the hill, partially, from the bottom.
From partway up. Look closely to see the lines and rectangles making up the buildings covering the hill.
Amy carefully climbing. Lots of rocks were falling on us. You should be able to see more architecture below.
Almost to the top, taking a break to ponder Huasaquito´s relationship to the rest of the valley.
View from near the top.
Pretty foggy at the top. Makes me miss the mountains.
A cluster of structures at the top.
View from the top.
Slag with ceramic stuck to it: the remains of an oven for metallurgy?
The neighboring Salinar grave, with intact posts.

This might be a silly question, but are the posts just for support of the graves? You took some really awesome photos by the way, which is great for letting the general public (including myself) experience through your own photographed experiences just how advanced the Inka and other groups were for their time.
I think they were just one layer of coverage like you see elsewhere with north coast graves. Sometimes burials around there are covered with several caps of different materials, like straw and wood. Really fancy ones get coffins made from those materials.
