Cuzco (also called Cusco),
Peru is 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 of a blend of
Spanish 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.
