About Cusco

Cusco, die alte Inka-Hauptstadt hoch in den peruanischen Anden, verbindet gewaltige Steinmauern mit Kolonialkirchen und ist Tor nach Machu Picchu.

Die Plaza de Armas ist das Herz der Stadt, umrahmt von der Kathedrale und der Jesuitenkirche La Compañía. Inka-Mauerwerk ist im ganzen Zentrum erhalten, am berühmtesten im Qorikancha, dem Sonnentempel, auf dem die Spanier ein Kloster errichteten, und im zwölfeckigen Stein in der Straße Hatun Rumiyoc. San Blas, das Handwerkerviertel, steigt steil an, mit Werkstätten und Cafés.
