Sacsahuamán

Monday 31 March 2008

There is a Dutch girl also living at the house with me, and the two of us went to visit the ruins of Sacsahumán today, an ancient Incan homage to the god of lightening. It was pretty neat, especially since these bright yellow flowers just started to bloom and were covering a lot of the ruins (well, not in this picture, but in other places). I put this picture up with the people in it so you can see how huge those stones are. Can you imagine fitting them so perfectly? There are some stones with 8 or 10 sides, with stones fitted around them with absolutely no chinks or mortar. Incredible.
