Cusco

Sacsayhauaman

Sacsayhuaman is an Inca walled complex near the old city of Cusco, at an altitude of 3,701 m.
Some believe the walls were a form of fortification, while others believe it was only used to form the head of the Puma that Sacsayhuaman along with Cusco form when seen from above. Like much Inca stonework, there is still mystery surrounding how they were constructed. The structure is built in such a way that a single piece of paper will not fit between many of the stones. This precision, combined with the rounded corners of the limestone blocks, the variety of their interlocking shapes, and the way the walls lean inward, is thought to have helped the ruins survive devastating earthquakes in Cusco.

The longest of three walls is about 400 meters. They are about 6 meters tall. On March 13, 2008, archaeologists discovered the ruins of an ancient temple in the periphery of Sacsayhuaman; it is believed to have been built by the Killke culture which occupied the site between 900 and 1200 AD. Today, the annual Inca festival celebrating the winter solstice and New Year, Inti Raymi, is held near Sacsayhuaman on June 24th. Some Cusqueños also use the large field between the walls of the fortress early in the morning for jogging, tai chi, and other athletic activities

Kenko

At 4 and 6 km to the northeast of Cusco, you can find the two archaeological sites of Kenko: Kenko Grande, which is located near the road that goes from Sacsayhuaman to Pisac; and Kenko Chico, which is located at 350 meters to the west from the latter, on the hillside. Both of them are worship places whose nature has not been deciphered yet, but in which we can highlight the Inca's predilection for stone and their thoroughness with regard to the carving process.
These sites are limestone outcrops on which intricate mythical representations had been carved. It is believed that it was destined to the worship of the land. Its Quechua name means zigzag, probably due to the labyrinthine underground galleries, or due to the small channels carved on rocks with that shape

Puca Pucara

At 7 km to the northeast of Cusco city, you can find this incaic site which Quechua name means "red fortress" due to the color of the rocks when the twilight reflects on them. This military building made up by overlapping terraces, interior squares, aqueducts, watchtowers, high walls and staircases, which presence along the road may also indicate that it was a wayside inn, though its structure does not belong to the standard outlining that characterizes those buildings along the Inca trails. On this possibility, there is a version that says the Inca accommodated there his numerous delegations each time he decided to visit the Tambomachay baths. It was built with three walls of irregular plant that set three levels for each site.

The first wall was outlined to be winding so as to carefully avoid cutting the prominent rocks. Towards the north and behind the outside wall, there are six rooms of different sizes arranged in such an irregular way so as not to touch the stones forming the wall. Towards the west, there is a high trapezoid square, which is accessed by a staircase. Buildings on both sides surrounded the square. The nine rooms of regular outline in this open area do not seem to belong to a fortified environment. A second wall surrounds the central elevation. Between this and the first, there are wide cultivation terraces that spread all over towards the south and the east. Behind the second wall, there are three atypical rooms for the Inca architecture since two of them lack of a rectangular plant, it is trapezoidal. The third wall surrounds the top and there are no traces left of its buildings
