Cusco, nestled high in the Andes Mountains of southeastern Peru, is a city rich in history and folklore. Often referred to as the 'Archaeological Capital of America,' Cusco is known for being the historical capital of the Inca Empire, boasting architectural and archaeological splendor. This UNESCO World Heritage site is brimming with cobblestone streets, Inca ruins, bustling markets, and vibrant cultural festivals. Its close proximity to the legendary Inca city of Machu Picchu makes it a crucial access point for travelers looking to explore this revered archaeological site. Its enigmatic attractions like Sacsayhuaman Fortress, formidable walled complex, and Qurikancha, the most significant temple in the Inca Empire, cast a spell on history enthusiasts. Supplement this with Cusco's pulsating nightlife, exquisite culinary scene, and multitude of handicraft markets, and you've got a destination that's as eclectic as it is historic.

I went not only to Cusco, so those photos were took in Quillabamba and Maranura too, but I loved it! It was beautiful and so peacefull! People were really nice and food was really good! I felt safe there even when it was dark! I recommend it!
