Incredible walls
Saqsaywanman is an unfinished Inca holy site. Its pronunciation is close to Sexy Woman. I didn't do my homework in advance, when m wife told me the name, I really thought it was a Sexy Woman. At the entrance, a native Indian corrected my pronunciation, saying there was no Sexy Woman here, then I realized I should show respect to the holy places of others. According to the design of Inca Emperor, Cusco's shape was a leopard. Saqsaywanman was at the head position of the leopard pupa with an altitude of 3701 meters. The building started at 1438 and was incomplete by 1527 through three Inca kings, it ended at invasion to Spain. Like all Inca buildings, the precise hinge joints between the huge stones and the design of inner angled walls allow the site to survive the devastating earthquake in Cusco. We initially decided to visit it by ourselves, but we found it's difficult to understand these huge stones without explanation from tour guide. So we hired one onsite, english tour guides are very popular, hire one when you see him, price is very reasonable, I forgot exact rate.
