Cusco Peru

Cuzco, situated in the Southern Sierras, is one of the most frequented cities in Peru. It was formerly the capital of the Inca dynasty and now serves as the gateway to the Sacred Valley and the Andean capital of Peru. Cuzco radiates charm and magnificence and is brimming with character. The heart of Cuzco is the Plaza de Armas where you can discover the Cathedral and the Compañía de Jesús church, among other notable buildings. The city's architecture is a peculiar blend of Spanish Colonial built on top of Inca ruins and everything else is a unique fusion of Spanish and indigenous influences. Wandering through Cuzco’s picturesque, narrow, cobblestone lanes is a source of endless fascination. Cuzco is a constant connection to the past, its streets are filled with colourful costumes, handicraft shops, remarkable Incan ruins and local flair is omnipresent. Hatunrumiyoc is located near Plaza de Nazarenas, not far from Plaza de Armas. It's a narrow pedestrian street, renowned for its Inca walls where massive stones are precisely carved to fit together without mud or concrete. You’ll find the masterpiece, a 12-angled stone, about halfway down the street. Cuzco is the most convenient city from which tourists can start visits to Machu Picchu, the Sacred Valley of the Incas, and other Inca sites in the region. The city’s fantastic architecture and the breathtaking natural surroundings make Cusco a city hard to leave.
