About Cusco

Cusco, den gamle inkahovedstaden høyt oppe i Perus Andesfjell, blander massive steinmurer med koloniale kirker og er porten til Machu Picchu.

Plaza de Armas er byens hjerte, innrammet av katedralen og jesuittkirken La Compañía. Inkamurverk er bevart over hele sentrum, mest kjent ved Qorikancha, solens tempel hvor spanjolene bygde et kloster, og i steinen med tolv hjørner i gaten Hatun Rumiyoc. San Blas, håndverkernes kvarter, klatrer bratt med verksteder og kaféer.
