April 2, 2012 - another hike to the wonderful Sacsayhuaman surrounding area (on 3.000 hectares). On the road that goes from Cuzco to the site (at 2 km), you will discover a superb panorama. Sacsayhuaman is an Inca "fortress", very famous for its stone blocks (some weigh several dozens of tons) so well fitted (without using any mortar) that it's almost impossible to put a needle in between. The fortifications that surrounded Cuzco, the Inca capital, were there to protect and reinforce the Inca's control. We are really amazed by these three gigantic walls, arranged in zigzag levels!
Located 2 km away from the City of Cusco, Peru - this great lithic Inca monument is composed of colossal stone blocks that is prodigiously jointed and guarded the City of Cusco. It is known as Sacsayhuaman – the Royal House of the Sun.
