El Domingo - 6/15


Today was our first day of full activity in Cuzco, and boy was it full.  We woke up early to have breakfast in the hotel and then we were off.  Our first stop was Sacsaywoman (pronounced sexy woman).  The city of Cuzco, if looked at from a bird’s-eye view, resembles the shape of a puma, and Sacsaywoman is the head of that puma.  It was an old Incan military fortress, with amazing, complex architecture.  Next, we went to an old Incan labyrinth and walked through that real quick.  Finally, it was off to Tambomachay, another set of Incan ruins, from the top of which you could see all of Cuzco.  Later, we went to Korikancha, a museum with a mix of Incan and colonial architecture.
