Ancient Village or Settlement in Peru

Origin of Sayacmarca is pre-Inca, but it was definitely an important point in Inca period as well. Irregular-shaped Tempe of the Sun is the major structure, however the site is referred to as a fortress as well. Canalization system providing Sayacmarca with water is still in perfect condition.

The Sayac Marca site is on the Inca Trail, if you walk from the start of the trail you will get to it on day 2. It is not easy sites to get too as you are 3,600m above sea level and you can only access it via the Inca trail and you have to walk.

I would rate the site as Ambience 4, Access 2.
