About Cusco

Cusco was the historic capital of the Inca Empire and today is the gateway to Machu Picchu, the most famous archaeological site in the Americas. The city itself is a UNESCO World Heritage Site — Spanish colonial churches built on Inca stone foundations, cobblestone streets, and the Sacred Valley of the Incas all make Cusco one of the world's most extraordinary destinations.
