Schnelle Fakten: Huge stone blocks weigh up to 200 tons, which is a fascinating engineering feat by the builders of the time. The stone walls are assembled so precisely that you cannot insert even a knife between the blocks.

Highlights: The stone walls have a step-like design, which perfectly resists earthquakes, a secret to their longevity. During the Inti Raymi festival, you can experience famous ceremonies under the open sky with thousands of participants.

Insidertipps

Dress in layers due to the changing weather in the mountains.
Best photos are taken in the morning light when the stones shine golden.
Avoid the weekend midday rush when there are the most tourists.
