Ana’s Comments: “Look here at this stone wall. It’s important to note that no mortar was used between the stones. The Inca people have a strong history as masons, and considered using mortar to hold together their walls a subpar building method. Using no mortar allows for seismic shifting without much consequence.”

Ana’s Comments: “When the jewels fall in the Jewel Boards that you play, I can’t help but remark at how similar this is to the shifting of the stones that make up the magnificent structures of Machu Picchu.

Ana’s Comments: “My days are filled now with showing this awe-inspiring place to tourists, who walk through it like a museum. However, keep in mind that Machu Picchu was far more than just a place to visit when it was built. The people who lived here had a vibrant community, and everything in this place had a very specific purpose.”
Reward (Association): Acatlán Piece #4 (Catalina’s grandfather-in-law)
