description
Here in Cusco time goes so fast because there is so much to see and experience that your stay will feel short. That is why everyone who comes once promises to return. The ancient capital city of the Tahuantinsuyo is a place of intense contrasts and the seduction of its magnificent Inca walls, crowned by Spanish-styled balconies and tile roofs are a testimony of its legacy: a mixture that enriches itself with the energy that irradiates from the religious buildings, all of them adorned with priceless works of art. The creativity of artisans and festivities such as Corpus Christi and Inti Raymi, celebrate the communion between Christian and ancestral traditions that is hard to find anywhere else. Rejoice, you just have arrived to the center of the world.
