Cusco overview

Dig into the archaeological wonders of Cuzco, the ancient capital of the Incan Empire. Incan majesty and Andean Baroque exist side by side in the Peruvian city's stone streets, epitomized by the Qoriacancha palace and the church of Santo Domingo flanking the Plaza de Armas. Just outside the city are the imposing walls of the Sacsayhuam‡n fortress. In this high-altitude melting pot of Amerindian and mestizo culture, extraordinary makers of textiles and vibrant summer festivals add to its natural charms.
