take a taxi to top and walk down cause inside is already huge you might get tired easily early!def worth going up to see both the city view and the ruins!

Yanira Rios

Amazing place, is a most see in Cusco. Take your time and enjoy the impressive design and the nature around, you will keep thinking about it throughout your lifetime.

Simon Tan

By far the largest of the ruins near Cusco. Much easier to get to if you walk down from Q'enko as opposed to climbing up from the Plaza de Armas !

At 3,701 m (12,142 ft) elevation -- the view from the top of the ruins are truly incredible. Huge stones carved by the Incans are mind blowing. Best to go on a winter solstice.

Majed Alashari

Amazing ruins and definitely worth seeing if you're in the Cusco region. In many ways, more impressive than Machu Picchu.

Anna Reshe

Ancient architectural complex. Many questions about polygonal laying. Amazing park .

Green Toad Bus

One of the best ruins in Cusco. Approx 40 min walk from the Plaza del Armas . Better to visit in a group rather than independently: security! You need a BOLETO TURISTICO for this ruin.

Nice ruins

Werther Veulemans

We went to this Inca fortress . It has an amazing viewpoint, but 70 SOL for entrance is way too high.

Roberto Gallegos

Increíble el mirador con vistas hermosas de Cusco. Lugar muy grande, hay que tener buena condición para recorrerlo (condiderando la altura ). Y eso que sólo está al 20% de lo que fue su tamaño original

Fluying ✅

Diversos cronistas nombran tres torreones que se encontraban en lo alto de Sacsayhuamán. En 1934 halló las bases de lo que fue el torreón de Muyucmarca y Sallacmarca, aún no se encontraro Paucamarca

Luisi Leonarth

Dá pra chegar a pé, mas a subida é bem cansativa principalmente se não estiver aclimatado ainda. Vale a pena pegar um guia lá na frente, mas não pague mais que 10 soles por pessoa.

Emilio Chavez

Que les puedo decir, es un lugar muy misterioso y sorprendente. Les recomiendo descargar algún audio libro que explique la historia de el lugar mientras lo visitan así podrán disfrutar más!

Fábio Alves

Acredita-se que os os Incas projetaram a cidade de Cusco em forma de um puma sendo que Sacsayhuaman é a cabeça os muros em zigue-zague com 300 metros de comprimento, representam as presas deste felino

Gina Chambi Núñez

Ir con zapatillas , una casaca corta vientos y una buena cámara , es un lugar muy bonito y con una hermosa vista de la ciudad de Cusco

Definitivamente si vas a Cusco tienes que venir a este hermoso lugar. Hermosa vista de la ciudad también.

Gianluca Fioretti

Dall’alto e possibile avere una vista della città . Attenzione che chiude alle 17, quindi non è possibile vedere il tramonto sulla città

Masaki Kuramochi

チケットは4箇所を含めた70ソル。歩いて見て回る所要時間は、急いで半日です。歩道は観光 客の安全を配慮してか広く緩やか。どの遺跡も高いところを目指せば案内板にしか書かれていない見落としが減る。

Daniela Name

Subir a pé é puxado no ar rarefeito. Mas a vista é uma maravilha. Fuja então das vans, que pulam alguns pontos lindos. Tome chá de coca antes de ir e tenha Respire Melhor à mão.
