Chroniques de Cusco

Cusco, the ancient capital of the Inca Empire, was founded in 1180 AD by the founder of the city, Manco Cápac. The city's rich history is evident in its architecture, with the Spanish colonial era leaving a lasting legacy in the form of grand stone buildings and ornate churches. Today, Cusco is a thriving cultural hub, blending indigenous and colonial influences in its vibrant arts scene, traditional festivals, and local cuisine. Visitors can explore the city's many museums, galleries, and historic landmarks, including the iconic Sacsayhuamán fortress and the vibrant San Pedro Market. Cusco is also a UNESCO World Heritage Site, recognised for its exceptional cultural and natural heritage.
