CUSCO IN A NUTSHELL- Cosmopolitan Inca capital, Cusco ( Qosqo in Quechua) today thrives with a measure of contradiction. Ornate cathedrals squat over Inca temples, massage hawkers ply the narrow cobblestone streets, a woman in traditional skirt and bowler offers bottled water to a pet llama while the finest boutiques sell alpaca knits for small fortunes. The foremost city of the Inca Empire is now the undisputed archaeological capital of the Americas, as well as the continent’s oldest continuously inhabited city. Few travelers to Peru will skip visiting this premier South American destination, also the gateway to Machu Picchu.

Visitors to Cusco get a glimpse of the richest heritage of any South American city. Married to 21st century hustle, the trendy San Blas which still looks like in the past time. Foreign guests undoubtedly have the run of the roost, so showing respect toward today’s incarnation of this powerhouse culture is imperative.

Whether you are not much interested in hinking to Machu Picchu, Cusco offers you explore its surroundings in a calm way where each Incan sacred sites will leave you enchanted, and later on we would take you scorted to Machu Picchu by train, Besides you have to know about the Cusco’s typical streets from the incan time and colonial time, and of course about its typical places as the old markets in which you still see those different antique ítems for diferent porpuses, and a good way to see and learn about these lovely places is with us.
