Winay Wayna ("Forever young") is an Inca settlement located on slope of the mountain over Urubamba river. Most of the buildings are in good condition, as well as the agriculture terraces, typical for Inca architecture. The settlement is shared for two parts, both were provided water from natural spring.

Winay Wayna are second last ruins on Inca trail before Machu Picchu. Over the site there is a hostel.
