About Cusco

Cusco, den gamla inkahuvudstaden högt uppe i Perus Anderna, blandar massiva stenmurar med koloniala kyrkor och är porten till Machu Picchu.

Plaza de Armas är stadens hjärta, ramad av katedralen och jesuitkyrkan La Compañía. Inkamurverk finns kvar i hela centrum, mest berömt vid Qorikancha, soltemplet där spanjorerna byggde ett kloster, och i stenen med tolv hörn på gatan Hatun Rumiyoc. San Blas, hantverkarnas kvarter, klättrar brant med verkstäder och caféer.
