Located just a few kilometres from the historic centre of Cuzco, the fortress of Saqsaywaman is a must-see for visitors to Peru. This complex impresses with its titanic stones, some weighing up to 200 tonnes, which fit together without mortar with millimetre precision. This architectural feat still raises questions about the methods used by the Incas. Legend has it that the site was once a temple dedicated to the sun and played a central role in the rituals of the Inca empire. Today, Saqsaywaman offers travellers a unique experience, combining history and contemplation in a breathtaking natural setting. A visit to this mystical place immerses you in the Inca heritage while enjoying the splendour of the surrounding Andean landscapes.
