Discovering Cuzco - Peru
Few places in Peru possess such a magical atmosphere as Cuzco. The city has been the centre of Inca culture from its beginnings.Cuzco is situated in the Peruvian Andes and was founded by the Inca ruler Patchacutec. When the Spaniards conquered it in the 16th century, they preserved the basic structure but built Baroque churches and palaces over the ruins of the Inca city.
Cuzco is now the undisputed archaeological capital of the Americas, and a must see destination for anyone visiting Peru.
