About Sacsayhauman ruins:

If is true that sacsyhuaman is an archeological place also is home of the best lime stone climbing in the area developed in clandestinity .... boulder problems , caves and some ilegal climbing (or at least not with the guys of National Institute Of culture around) in the only bolted route route of the area with a grade 7b rated by a friend from spain named The Devils Balcony (part archeological site) also you can try to talk to the comunity of Fortaleza to ask for permition ....in the area, crash pad is higly recomended because of the facility of motion that this will give you to run away .... if they found you climbing .... They will take your ropes and beyond and a fine will have to be paid.
