I think I was most fascinated by the water features of Machu Picchu. On this one you can see where a groove has been carved to channel the water into a small basin below. Then, the water must leave that basin and go to another. You can then see the channel leaving the basin and flowing out someplace else. It's obvious that everything was well planned out long before they started construction.
The water arrives here where it falls to another basin. Notice the rocks are not as nicely hewn and well fitted as the one above. Well, it turns out the royalty get the nice one above and the soldiers and farmers get the leftovers.
