Cusco, the historic capital of the Inca Empire, is located in southeastern Peru in the Andes mountains at an altitude of about 3,400 meters. The city serves as a testament to both Incan architectural mastery and Spanish colonial influence, with many structures incorporating elements from both cultures.
The historic center of Cusco, recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage site, features impressive stone walls built by the Incas, upon which Spanish colonial architecture was later constructed. The city maintains its role as a major cultural center in Peru, with numerous museums housing collections that span pre-Columbian artifacts to contemporary art. Cusco also serves as the gateway to other significant archaeological sites in the region, including Machu Picchu.
The city's rich cultural heritage is reflected in its traditional festivals, local crafts, and culinary traditions that blend indigenous and Spanish influences.
