The Real Kuzco - Video

Like Disney’s Kuzco, Atahualpa enjoyed pools! While Kuzco builds his pool for fun, Atahualpa built the Water Temple of Inca-Caranqui to commemorate his coronation and wedding. While Kuzco would use his pool for fun, Atahualpa used the hot springs of Cajamarca to rejuvenate after military campaigns and to observe Incan religious rituals.
