Peru Cusco
Cusco
A historic city in Peru, once the heart of the Inca Empire, renowned for its archaeological remains and Spanish colonial architecture.
Tips from the community
Cusco is the cultural heart of Peru. Alpacas roam the alleyways while Quechua women in their bright traditional garb brighten up the off-white, half-peeled paint of the Cusquena houses. Few cities reward the aimless wanderer quite like Cusco does. Outside of the main city center, the San Blas neighborhood is perfect for getting lost amidst the side streets and stairways as you find yourself surrounded by snowy summits. A hike up to the Inca fortress of Saqsaywaman – yes, pronounced sexy woman – is what Cusco is all about, stunning views and awe-inspiring history.
