The next archaeological site encountered on the Inca trail are the ruins of Llactapata, a site that is thought to have been used primarily used for crop production. Llactapata is very well preserved and is located at 9,318 feet (2,840 m) above sea level. Its name means "High Town" in Quechua. The Llactapata Ruins on the Classic Inca Trail should not be confused with the ruins of the same name located west of Machu Picchu that are observable on the alternate Inca Trail trek.
