Outside Cusco

22nd December
Today I went for a trip to see some of the Inka ruins outside of Cusco.
I got the bus as far as Tambomachay which has some cool water fountains.
Then I walked back to Cusco stopping at the ruins of Pukapukara Q'enqo and Saqsaywaman.
Saqsaywaman was the most impresive. It is a huge fortress just outside of Cusco, up a big hill.
The rocks used for the base of are enormous.
It was used for the last big stand against the Spanish by Manu inka and the Spanish then spent centuries tearing it appart for building materials for among other things the big cathedral.
It is still very impresive though.
