When I first heard we were going to Saqsaywaman, I thought it was a Mad Gab involving an attractive lady.
actually, Saqsaywamam is a complex of Inca ruins. It was an outpost consisting of three outer walls (15m, 10m, & 7m) with three watch towers on top. It was a military post and a religious place with a temple and ceremonial plaza between the post & temple. Large stones were used to construct the outpost (360 t) with unique jointing methods in the walls. The site was destroyed by the Spanish and used as a quarry for pre cut stones for new construction in Cusco until 1930.
I could pick up a smaller rock.
Whose that "Saqsay" lady in the photo with me?
