Inca wall at Sacsayhuamán

    View on black. A good example of Inca stonework at Sacsayhuamán, Peru. They cut and hauled huge stones to make walls like this, and fit them together -- without mortar! -- so tightly that you coudn't get a knife-tip or a piece of paper between them. Solid enough to have survived tremendous earthquakes.

    This is the first picture (of many decent ones, I hope) to be posted from a 2004 trip to Peru.

    More in the Cusco & Machu Picchu set.
