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.
Just 200 meters from Sacsayhuaman is our next
destination Q'enqo (Labyrinth 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 (Red Fort) was used as a center for military use
and control, as well as a place where travelers may have
lodged here with their goods and animals before entering
or leaving Cusco.
