Cristo Blanco

There´s one looking over Cusco as well, it not that big though!!

Cusco, Peru

Situated at 3,300m above sea level, this place has caused me to suffer from sever altitude sickness, short of breath all the time, cold feet, constantly dehydrated, headaches to name but a few symptoms!! Still is a nice city with so much history, culture and ancient Inca ruins.



Cusco



City center

Sacsayhuaman, Cusco , Peru

Well pronounced!!!In building Sacsayhuaman, the Incas used stone blocks of up to 9 meters high and 5 meters wide, each fitting perfectly with the other. The fortress has an area of approximately 360 meters and has doors, galleries and watchtowers at strategic points.
