To see the incarrunes and also the efforts resilience, which the labourers and the missionary undertook to fit huge rocks. Very, very big hands, small perfectly into each other. It is worth a visit, on the other side is also a creation of how. Lawa melts have made rocks. It's a beautiful walk. And the weather was absolutely great. Saw some lamas find also a lot of people visiting had guides to explain what Really was the intent of building up this whole site. A must-visit when you are in Costco. India, the exit are also the restrooms and the parking facility. Tickets have to be bought in advance

Lugar interessante - It is an archaeological site not as grandiose as the others in the region, but it has a very characteristic shape and some walls of huge rocks that impress. It is not dispensable, but I would put as one of the first archaeological tours of Cusco to not be disappointed.

Impressive and exceptional site: Very well preserved and beautiful presentation - The dimensions of this fortress are impressive and the gigantic stone walls, their layout are dazzling. Not to mention the panoramic view that is offered to us on Cusco and the surrounding hills. In my opinion, it is a must-see attraction for any lover of History, stones and mysteries. Don’t go “windy” it would be a mistake as there is so much to discover, to photograph, to admire. Ideally, you should take the tour with a guide to get as much information and explanation as possible. By discovering the remains of stones, you will also discover the ingenuity of the Incas, the complexity of the construction of these walls, and their robustness. By closing your eyes you can almost think you are projected into Tintin and the Temple of the Sun...

Another example of Inca engineering - The fortress is an archaeological site 4 km from the center of Cusco. It is thought that it began to be built during the reign of Inca Pachacutec, in the 15th century. It is believed that more than 20,000 men extracted the stones from the nearby stones, and They transported it 20 kilometers to the hill of the city of Cusco. Today, it is estimated that Sacsayhuaman retains only 40 percent of its old structure. Worth a visit. This fortress is another example of Inca precision for cutting stones and building walls and walls.

Not great. - Close to the city center but much less impressive than the matchu picchu. You have to go with a guide otherwise you only see a pile of stones

NO good choice ES - The tour EN itself was fine. The person DE la ag ENcia who contacted me told me to be in the Cathedral at 845 am, I arrived 830 am and it was 9 am. I sent him a message and it turns out that the hours were at 945, I was waiting for more DE an hour EN the cathedral and at 10 they call me that they were EN Plaza rejoicing. They told me the wrong time and place.
