Cusco is the oldest city in the Americas and was the capital of the Inca Empire. Every visitor is enthralled with this city because of its wealth of historical, cultural, and architectural elements.
Cusco reached its pinnacle of power under Inca Pachacutec. The puma-shaped metropolis is well known for the incredible accuracy of its architecture.

There are remnants of Inca walls and constructions among the colonial buildings.

Just a stone's throw away lie the Inca ruins of Sacsayhuaman, Pucapucara, Tambomachay, and Qenqo, adding to the city's allure.
