The Inca ball game: history and validity in Cusco
The Incas, like many ancient cultures of the world, practiced a ball game. This was called gayado although thousands of years ago it was also known as ‘chiukos’.

Today some communities in Cusco and along the Andes Mountains continue to practice this sport in important festivities. Learn more!
