On our way back from Machu Picchu we went to visit Ollantaytambo (don't ask me how to pronounce this). We paid for a guide who explained to us how the Inca actually moved put these huge stones with only basic tools like ropes of Llama leather, how they polished the stones and made them fit with each other so tightly.
The short story is, the process was quite crude and extremely labor-intensive. You can see more about that process in a documentary about the Inca Secrets of Lost Empires: The IncaI liked this town, because it had a little bit of a true Inca flavor, and not the uber-touristy grand feel of Machu Picchu.
