Cusco Peru |
Cusco, which has
been declared UNESCO World Heritage Site, was once the capital
of the Inca Empire and the Tahuantinsuyo Empire's main city.
Moreover, the Incas considered the city to be the "navel
of the world".
According to the legend, the city was founded by Manco Capac and Mama Ocllo between the XI and XII centuries. Later, the Spaniards, ordered by Francisco Pizarro, undertook the construction of a new city on the foundations of the old Inca city in 1534.
Located at an altitude of 3360 meters above sea level and covering an area of 71892 Km2, this city is bordered by Junín and Ucayali to the north, Puno and Arequipa to the south, Apurímac and Ayacucho to the west and the "Madre de Dios" plain to the east.
Cusco is the starting point for learning about the history of the Inca Empire. We will start in Cuzco and continue along the surroundings visiting the Sacsayhuaman, Kenko, TamboMachay, Pisac, Ollantaytambo ruins and the Machu Picchu Sanctuary.

Machu Picchu Peru
|
The continent’s best known and most beautiful archaeological park, Machu Picchu was designated as an UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Machu Picchu was discovered in 1911 by Hiram Bingham and it is widely believed that such amazing discovery was made by chance, since it was Vilcabamba city, the last Inca refugee, what this man was really looking for.
Formerly known as Picchu o Piccho, since colonial times this legendary place has been divided into two main parts: the old part, "Machu" and the young part, "Wayna". Picchu means “hill” and form the combination of the two terms results the name “old hill”.
It is a well known fact that all this construction consisted of a kind of sanctuary where a vast number of riches were kept and, therefore, this place, erected in the surroundings of Cusco was of the utmost importance at the time.
