Sacsayhuamán

The ruin outside Cuzco is pronounced "Sock-say-wah-mun".  Our guide Alan said to make it easy for visitors, the locals sometimes call it Sexy Woman.  The size of the rocks is amazing given that no heavy equipment was used in the placement of the rocks.

 Alan said theis a great example of the Inca's precise measurement and precise stonework.  There is no trial and error with this size of stones.  You get one chance to do it right.

The snake below was filled with gold before the Spaniards looted the area.


I highlighted the outline of the llama.
