Welcome to the epicenter of the Peru's history. Cuzco, an unparalleled archaeological masterpiece of the Americas, stands as the enduring heartbeat of ancient civilizations. It is a city that seamlessly merges the old and the new, where tradition and innovation coexist in harmony. As the oldest continuously inhabited city on the continent, Cuzco holds the title of an ageless witness to the past, while also serving as the portal to the awe-inspiring wonder that is Machu Picchu.
Within the cosmopolitan tapestry of Cuzco (also known as Cusco, or Qosq’o in Quechua), a rich tapestry of contrasts thrives. Majestic cathedrals with intricate facades stand side by side with remnants of revered Inca temples, narrating the evolving tale of spiritual devotion. Amidst the labyrinthine cobblestone alleyways, one can encounter vendors offering rejuvenating massages, juxtaposed against the backdrop of modernity. In this vibrant setting, an Andean woman tends to her cherished llama, providing it with bottled water – a surreal yet charming scene that captures the essence of the city's fusion of the traditional and the contemporary. Meanwhile, exclusive boutiques showcase luxurious alpaca knits, embodying the city's penchant for blending authenticity with refinement.
