Cusco was the capital of the Inca Empire. According to legend, the first Inca Manco Capac, son of Inti, the Sun God, and his sister Mama Oclla founded the city in 1200. Apart from the many highlights
the city offers, Cusco is also the starting point for excursions to the Sacred Valley and Machu Picchu. In 1983, Unesco declared the
city a world heritage site. The combination of the beautiful
colonial houses and the well-preserved Inca walls is indeed extraordinary.

Highlights:
The Temple of the Sun Coricancha, the Cathedral,
the Jesuit church "La Compañia
de Jesus", the San Blas Church,
the four surrounding ruins Sacsayhuamán, Tambo Machay, Puca Pucará and Q’enqo,
the Incatrail to Machu Picchu
