The Inca Fortress



Hello!!! I want to tell you about a nice inca archaeological site located 90 km south of Santiago: the Cerro Grande de la Compañía fortress. The site is located in the Rancagua valley, in an isolate hill of 677 meters above sea level, in the middle Cachapoal River. The hill is very cliffy, but it is possible to go up from the south, were the slope is more smooth.  
If you go there, you will see the strategic position of  the site, than permit you to look all around the valley. Also, in his top there are many old stones structures made by rocky walls, some of them used to live, others for storage food (named collcas in quechua language) and others to surround a square. There are also, two big and long perimetral walls that surround and protect all the site. The longest one has 800 meters long. 
The site is possible to visit, but you have to ask permission to enter to the administrators who live there, and you have to pay something to him. 








                                            The site it is amazing!!! You need to visit it it.
