About Cusco

Cusco, antica capitale inca nelle Ande peruviane, unisce possenti mura di pietra a chiese coloniali ed è la porta d'accesso al Machu Picchu.

La Plaza de Armas è il cuore della città, incorniciata dalla cattedrale e dalla chiesa gesuita della Compañía. La muratura inca sopravvive in tutto il centro, il più famoso esempio è il Qorikancha, il tempio del sole su cui gli spagnoli costruirono un convento, e la pietra dai dodici angoli in calle Hatun Rumiyoc. San Blas, il quartiere degli artigiani, sale ripido con botteghe e caffè.
