From Max Uhle's Letter

"Letter of August 23, 1901, written from Pallasca, 4 pages.
In this letter Uhle announces his arrival at the Hacienda Pallasca in the Pisco Valley from Ica and relates his first impressions of the ruins of Tambo Colorado, which he found to be "pure Incasic," "wonderfully preserved," and embedded in a rich and very pleasant environment."

From Jean-Pierre Protzen's "Explorations in the Pisco Valley"
