Cusco City Tour: Sacsayhuaman, Tambo Machay & Kenko
Sacsayhuaman
Sacsayhuaman, also called Saqsaywaman, means Satisfied Falcon in Quechua. This huge
fortress was created by the city planners of Cuzco, the capital of the Inca empire,
to the head of the capital, with Cuzco as the body. This is the site of a portion of
Inti Raymi, the Festival of the Sun.
Within walking distance, and overlooking the city of Cuzco, this is one of the must-see
sights of the area.
