Sacsayhuaman is an Inca site just above the central plaza of Cuzco. Large stone walls exist throughout the complex, some of which extend up to 400 metres in length. There is an estimated 6 cubic kilometres of stone used in the construction of this site. Some of the stones weigh up to 200 tonnes. While the Spanish were successful in removing many of them from the complex in order to construct churches, the largest still remain.
Welcome to our travel blog. Our amazing trip through Latin America came to an end in December 2009 and we are currently living in Australia. However, we will continue to publish posts every few days until we are caught up.

An interactive map of our route to date. Our Google map account seems to be a little overloaded now so to see our entire route click "View Josh and Laura's Journey in a larger map." You may alternatively click and drag this mini map to see where we are now. While our photos are typically months behind we tend to keep the map relatively current.
