This is an important Incan site, and definitely worth reading about before you stop to see it. We saw it as our last stop when being driven from Urubamba to Cusco. There is a large grassy area and I think that some groups picnic near the ruins. There are also horseback tours. It was very busy when we were there.... More

Ticket is part of the Tourist Ticket and well worth seeing. You can take your timing walking around the area. If you feel like it you can do some climbing, With the altitude we stayed on the level. The view of the city is lovely

go it alone not with a tour as you will prbably only spend like 30 mins there, we spent 2 hours had a picnic surrounded by some llamas with the sun shining. the ruins are the best in cusco some of the stones are huge. also gives great views of cusco.

After seeing a host of other Inka wonders one might think some rocks, big deal, if so you would be wrong. This place is serene. As we walked the site there was a sense of peace. May sound kookie, but multiple people commented on it. The amazing feat of what was done, when, and with such precision had us awestruck.

It was called a military fortress by the Spaniards whom had no idea of what they're looking at much less of what the building was all about.

The quality of the stonework and scale of the complex makes it a must see. Very sad to see that the conquistadors, as usual, destroyed what must have been a great temple to force their own religion on the people. What remains is still impressive. The story of this structure as a symbol of (unsuccessful) revolt against the Spanish is... More

Take a cab from Cusco to the top of the 4 or 5 Inca sites above Cusco (15 soles) - I can't remember the name of the top one but they'll tell you. Walk between the top two. Eat a picnic at the second. Catch a local bus by the side of the road (2 soles) to Sacsayhuaman. It's really... More

We were traveling with G Adventures and had the most incredible guide for this attraction, a professor at the University named Adelke Palomino. He is an Incan expert, having studied the culture for 40 years. Sacsayhuaman (sexy woman) is a fine example of Incan stonework, a fortress city above modern day Cusco. Fantastic views from the top. A huge grassy... More

Must see in Cuzco, high altitude and preparing one for Machu Picchu. Informative tour guide explained the full history of the park and gave relevance to Pachamama. Great day at the park. I recommend.
