The only incanato city in Peru that is still inhabited. Typical example of the extraordinary urban planning of the Incas, and therefore an obligatory point of visit for those interested in this civilization. Its cobbled and winding streets, the ruins scattered everywhere and its agricultural terraces are attractive that stand out by themselves.

About Cusco

Cusco, the old Inca capital high in the Peruvian Andes, blends massive stone walls with colonial churches and is the gateway to Machu Picchu.

The Plaza de Armas is the heart of the city, framed by the cathedral and the Jesuit church of La Compañía. Inca stonework survives throughout the centre, most famously at the Qorikancha, the sun temple on which the Spanish built a monastery, and in the twelve-angled stone on Hatun Rumiyoc street. San Blas, the artisans' quarter, climbs steeply with workshops and cafés.
