The theme of my last week in Cusco ended up being "surprise," though I didn't know that at the time. It sure made things dramatic and unpredictable!

Peru #16: Ruined Weekend
I spent my last weekend in Cusco visiting some of the Incan ruins in and around the area. Before this trip, I had no idea how many of these sites existed. It was nice to learn more about Incan history and explore different parts of the local area.
On Saturday, my sight-seeing partners were two of my Brazilian housemates, my Peruvian friend Diana, and two (male) Peruvian friends of one of the Brazilian girls. Since we were a mixture of nationalities, we spoke both English and Spanish that day.
The three Peruvians live in Cusco, so they were able to explain a lot of the history behind the sites we visited, and they also knew the ins and outs of the places too. We started by walking from the Cusco city center up to Saqsaywaman. (It is also spelled Sacsayhuamán and various other ways, but all come out sounding like "Sexy woman" with a Borat-style accent.)

Welcome to Saqsaywaman.
