More than a city, Cusco is a cultural space, located in an open valley at 3200 meters. It is the symbol of the union of the cultures and races. It is here that the sometimes violent birth of a nation, and identity has been the destiny of Cusco.
Cusco, was the navel of the world for its early masters, whose work is still present in the cobbled stone streets, palaces, museums, plazas as a testimony of its 35 centuries of life.
Today, Cusco is also a university town. Almost a third of its population is involved in education, and the University of Saint Anthony just celebrated over 313 years since its foundation.
Historical monuments, museums, hotels, and fine restaurants all constitute, with a very singular flavor, the heart of the city. Markets and plazas are the best places to participate in the daily life of this unique town
