Sacsayhuaman
An imposing archaeological site
Back to Sacsayhuaman
We did this our first day. This is a nice, easy thing to do if you're worn out from traveling. Some of the other places have a LOT of walking and climbing. It was really neat to see some of the designs in the rocks-- some of the boulders were arranged within the walls to represent snakes or eagles. It's amazing to stand in that place and think about how centuries ago, Incan people were living and breathing and working in that exact same spot, that those ruins were crafted by their very hands.

This is a very impressive archaeology site just up the hill from Cusco. The polygonal cyclopian style of stone masonry is only found in Cusco and at Machu Pichu. Great views looking down on Cusco. The plazas and tile roofs.
