We tell you a little more about Sacsayhuamán
Sacsayhuamán is an emblematic Inca monument of Cusco. This archaeological park, which is located 3 kilometers from the Imperial City, houses 33 sites among which the Sacsayhuamán Fortress stands out, an area where the Inti Raymi or Fiesta del Sol is celebrated every June 24. There is also the archaeological complex of Qenko (labyrinth), where ceremonies were held in honor of the Sun, the Moon and the Stars; and Puca Pucara, which has numerous enclosures, interior squares, watchtowers, aqueducts and roads; and it would have served as a resting place and lodging for the Inca.
We are waiting for you in Peru, we are waiting for you in Cusco!
