Overlooking the city of Cuzco, the site of Saqsaywaman is an imposing Inca fortress that fascinates with its cyclopean walls made of gigantic blocks of stone that fit together perfectly. This impressive monument bears witness to the architectural genius of the Incas, whose cutting and assembly techniques remain a mystery to this day. As you explore the massive terraces, you can imagine the ancient ceremonies that took place there, and feel the power of the place, magnified by the panoramic views over the Andes and the Cuzco valley. The site is also a sacred space for the locals, particularly during traditional festivals such as Inti Raymi, the Festival of the Sun. Saqsaywaman is not just an archaeological site; it is a bridge to the past, an immersion in the spiritual essence of Inca culture.
