Located in southeastern Peru, near the Sacred Valley of the Andes mountains, Cusco is the historic capital of the Inca Empire. Today, centuries later, the city keeps that stately and cultural charm.
The Incas aborigines made of Cusco a holy city and base of their vast empire, when the Spaniards invaded the city they toppled down most of Inca’s constructions in an attempt at shrinking their influence and power. The result today is a blend of cultures, with many layers of history, and plentiful places to visit, to understand, and to discover. Cusco remains as one of the most radiant expressions of Amerindian and mestizo - mix of aborigines and Spaniards - population and culture in all the American continents. The city displays local traditions, rituals, beliefs, festivals, monuments, and natural panoramas whose beauty can only be grasped once there.
More than five centuries of story are present in Cusco’s stone streets and buildings. Today, this city is dynamic, lively, progressive, revolutionary. Yet, its popularity and appeal among foreigners far from turning Lima into a popular, in the sense of common, city, have made of Cusco one of those rare places on Earth. For this reason, perhaps, and for all the beauty and history that is part of Cusco’s essence, it has been declared one of UNESCO World Heritage Sites.
