About Cusco

Cuzco, ancienne capitale inca dans les Andes péruviennes, allie murs de pierre massifs et églises coloniales ; porte d'entrée du Machu Picchu.

La Plaza de Armas est le cœur de la ville, encadrée par la cathédrale et l'église jésuite de la Compañía. La maçonnerie inca subsiste dans tout le centre, le plus célèbre étant le Qorikancha, le temple du Soleil sur lequel les Espagnols ont bâti un monastère, et la pierre à douze angles de la rue Hatun Rumiyoc. San Blas, le quartier des artisans, grimpe en pente raide avec ses ateliers et ses cafés.
