Sacsayhuamán
Sacsayhuamán is an archaeological site and citadel located on the northern outskirts of Cusco, Peru. Because Cusco was the historic capital of the Inca Empire, this location is a primary place to see authentic examples of Inca architecture. When you walk through the ruins, you can pick out the precision of the stonework while keeping in mind that the site sits at an altitude of 3,701 metres. I find the air up here a bit thin for a bird, but the view of the city below is worth the effort. It is a great spot to get your bearings and see how the city spreads out from the center before you head back down into the busier streets.
