City Tour Cusco

The cathedral and La Compañía church are notable examples of Andean baroque. Cusco, also known as Qosqo, whose name in Quechua means “navel”, was established by the Incas as the nucleus of their empire, acting as a strategic, political, and military center. This city, renowned for its stunning scenery, offers a unique combination of clear skies, white clouds, and towering mountains. Its valuable architectural legacy, which integrates Inca constructions with a marked colonial style, makes it a destination rich in history and charm.
