Historic Center of Cusco

The great Inca empire is not dead: it is alive in every one of Cusco’s stone walls and palaces, coexisting with the imposing architecture of the viceroyalty period. 

 

The heart of the historic center of the imperial city is the Plaza de Armas, bordered by the magnificent cathedral, and just a few meters from the twelve-angled stone and a few blocks from the San Blas neighborhood. 

 

The culinary scene is also unique: from exclusive restaurants to the enormous corn cobs with cheese sold on street corners. It is no surprise that many tourists come… and decide to stay.
