Sacsayhuamán

Sacsayhuamán is one of the most amazing Incan constructions for tourists. Its construction took over seven decades and required the work of 20,000 men approximately, both for the foundations and hewn stone works, the transportation of materials, carving and stones setting.

This Spectacular fortress was built with huge carved rocks jointed with absolute accuracy; this astounding sample of the Incan military architecture is, undoubtedly, the greatest architectonic work of the Tahuantinsuyo. But, in addition, it proves the undeniable firmness of the great administrative capacity of the empire and its powerful logistic system capable of mobilizing and organizing such a work.
