Inca to Wine Historical Route
Connect Inca history to modern winemaking. Start at Sacsayhuaman ruins above Cusco. Drive through the Sacred Valley where Incas grew crops that changed the world. End at Apu Winery where different crops now thrive at similar altitudes. The Incas had 3,000 potato varieties. Now someone is trying to add wine grapes to Peru high-altitude agriculture. The ambition is the same.
