Sacsayhuaman can be variously translated as 'speckled falcon' or 'speckled
head'. The last interpretation refers to the belief that the city of Cusco
was set out in the form of a puma whose head was the hill of Sacsayhuaman.
The origins are uncertain but the fortress is generally attributed to the
period of Inca Pachacuti, the man who essentially founded the Inca empire.
Here is made the famous Inti Raymi or Festival of the Sun on June 24 of each
year.

or Zigzag) This is one of the finest examples of a rock artfully carved in
situ showing complex patterns of steps, seats, geometric reliefs and a puma
design. It was religious center dedicated to the worship of the Earth and,
according to some theories, funerary rituals. Our next visit is Puca Pucara

place where travelers may have lodged here with their goods and animals
before entering or leaving Cusco.
