The Sacsayhuamán Heritage Foundation (Martino: Fundación Patrimonio de Sacsayhuamán; Wechua: Sacsayhuamán Ñawpa Pacha Waqaychana) is a heritage preservation organization based at the Sacsayhuamán fortress in the Wechua Nation, Nouvelle Alexandrie.
The Foundation was established in 1728 AN by Prince Manu, Count of Sacsayhuamán to coordinate preservation and research activities at the fortress and surrounding archaeological sites within his county. It funds ongoing conservation work, employing traditional stonemasons who maintain construction techniques passed down through generations. The Foundation also supports archaeological surveys throughout the county and provides educational programming for visitors.
An independent advisory board of archaeologists makes preservation recommendations, though the Count retains final authority over expenditures. The Foundation works in partnership with the Royal University of Parap and the Department of Education, Sports, and Culture.
