Its location is full of religious and mystical meanings, and its architecture was carefully designed to blend with nature instead of prevailing over it, for the Incas had a very strong ecological worldview; the citadel is such a relaxing, enjoyable, amazing place which dominates the entire valley, the Urubamba river below and the border of the Peruvian Amazonian jungle on the East. You will be totally filled with the natural energy of the place, like the Incas themselves did.
