Sacsayhuamán Ruins
Sacsayhuaman or Saksaq Waman is an ancient stone wall complex near the Cusco city of Peru. According to natives, the meaning of Sacsayhuaman is “House of the Sun”. It looks like a fortress and many people have firm belief upon its historic value. Today, Peruvians celebrate Inti Raymi, the annual Inca festival of the winter solstice and new year. It is held near Sacsayhuamán on 24 June. Some Cusqueños use the large field within the walls of the complex for jogging, t'ai chi, and other athletic activities.
