The Sayhuite Archaeological Complex

Hello Peru Travelers and Inca enthusiasts. Here is a new IncaTalk video – coming to you after a long pause…I hope you’ll feel it was worth the wait! (Actually I think it’s pretty good!)
It’s about a fascinating, lightly-visited Inca site called Sayhuite (Sigh-WEE-tay), about three hours drive from Cusco. This third episode of our Vlogcast, created by Inca scholar Peter Frost, and Visual Anthropologist Maren Elwood, covers a lot of ground at Sayhuite’s extensive and enigmatic ceremonial complex.

​There are two 
ushnus (ceremonial platforms), along with the massive but very ruined remains of a third; many large carved boulders; a superbly carved rock outcrop called the Intihuatana (place-of-tying-the-sun). All this and, of course, the lone, intricately carved stone that the place is renowned for.
 
In fact, there’s so much going on here that we needed to post the story in two parts. This is Episode One. Episode Two coming soon!
 
We hope you enjoy it. Please send us your thoughts, reactions, feedback – and think about subscribing to our site if you would like to join us regularly!
 
Best wishes to you all. Hope to see you in Peru again sometime.
