Nov. 7 Sacsayhuaman

This is thought to be another temple to lightening but the Spanish thought it was a fort. Manco Inca first directed his rebellion from this sight. It took a while but with guns and horses the Spanish were able to overwhelm the Incas and the fled from here to Ullantaytambo.

The stone walls with their huge stones are zigzagged in lightening pattern
There is some thought that the walls are pre-Inca.

The top of the temple overlooks Cusco.

There were women posing with their llamas and allpacas
