Manaus, Brazil
Megalithic Inca stone fortress at Sacsayhuamán
Cusco · Peru
About this experience
On the hill above Cusco, the zigzag walls of Sacsayhuamán rise in enormous stone blocks that fit together without mortar. Stand beside one and your own scale shrinks; the precision of the joints is a gift to anyone with a camera.
The site is open-air and the walk takes moderate effort. Cusco sits at altitude, so walk slowly, drink water and cover up against the sun. The lower afternoon light brings out the texture of the stone.
