The stones in this place are amazing, as is the view over the city of Cusco! Highly recommend seeing this place and understanding the history. All roads led to Cusco in the Inca Empire. Not something I knew before this trip.

I would suggest strongly that you use Natalie with Travel Peru company...passionate about the history, well informed, and totally a fabulous guide!!

We had a very enthusiastic and knowledgeable guide named Carlos on our city tour. Only two other couples were with us.
The site is built with massive, highly finished Inca stones. This was a religious pilgrimage site of great importance to the Incas.
Extremely interesting and makes you wonder how they were able to do such fine and extensive work...
