Once the capital of the Inca Empire, this historic city is the gateway to the Sacred Valley of the Incas and one of the most important sites in indigenous Peruvian culture.

Take a walk through the heart of Cusco’s artisan district, one of the city’s most beguiling and lively areas. 

Go for a walk down this famous street, which is known for a remarkable wall made with precisely carved stones.

The colossal stones of Cusco’s hilltop fortress are a powerful testimony to the ingenuity of Incan construction techniques.
