In Cusco, every step seems to lead to the discovery of a wonderful archaeological site such as Sacsayhuaman, with its imposing stone walls; or Pisac, where the buildings, plazas and temples display the finest Inca architecture.
Another wonderful attraction is the Moray Archaeological Complex, with its four series of circular agricultural terraces excavated deep in the ground; or Qorikancha, an ancient Inca temple, the ruins of which recount their own history.
Pucapucara and Tambomachay are other fascinating archaeological sites in the hills near Cusco, while in the Sacred Valley of the Incas the imposing fortress of Ollantaytambo stands above a picturesque village.
History to be enjoyed with every step, in every stone…
