Marveling at the Stones of Sacsayhuaman in Cusco, Peru

Who built this huge structure in which gigantic rocks of assorted shapes are put together with marvelous precision? Was it the ancient Incas or (as some purport) super-human beings from outer space? Ponder this and other questions when you visit this fortress on the outskirts of Cusco. Sacsayhuaman , pronounced "sexy woman," is a unique example of Inca organisation and engineering. Explore the ruins and enjoy the wonderful view of the city of Cusco and the peaks around it.
