Situated 3360 m (11,024 feet) above sea level, Cuzco was once the capital
of the Inca Empire. Remains of the granite stone walls of the Inca Palace
and temples can still be seen-the most remarkable is the Koricancha, or
Sun Temple. Of the several churches in Cuzco, the 17th-century La Merced
and its monastery San Francisco Belen de los Reyes, Santa Clara and San
Blas are the most interesting, representative as they do a blend of colonial
and Indian architecture. Overlooking Cuzco is the immense fortress of Sacsayhuaman.
Also easily accessible are the Inca sites of Kenko, Puca Pucara and Tambomachay,
and the markets of Pisac (Tuesdays, Thursday and Sundays) and Chincheros
are also an attraction. The Inka City of Cuzco is also the main entry point
to reach the world-famed wonders of Machu Picchu, The Sacred Valley of
the Incas and the exciting Urubamba and Vilcanota River Rafting locations.
Cuzco is best reached from Lima or Arequipa by air, daily.
It
is also accessible from Arequipa by train. There is a wide assortment of
hotels in Cuzco to please any taste.
