Sacsayhuaman (Sexy Woman) Ruins

July 17, 2010

Cuzco’s most impressive ruins lie just about a 25 min. walk up the ridge from the main square. Called Sacsayhuaman (Pronounced Sexy Woman, seriously) the temple doubled as a military installation, which is apparent from the remaining fortress-like walls that weren’t dismantled for building supplies by the invading Spaniards. Also had a beautiful day in Cuzco proper.
