Calcaの歴史

Calca, a city in the Urubamba Province of Cusco, was founded in the 16th century as a major hub for trade between the Inca Empire and the Spanish colonizers. As the Spanish Empire expanded, Calca's architecture evolved to incorporate Inca and Spanish styles, resulting in a unique blend of colonial and indigenous influences. Today, Calca is a thriving town that proudly celebrates its rich cultural heritage, with many residents still speaking Quechua, the language of the Incas. Visitors can explore the town's vibrant markets, try local cuisine, and experience the traditional music and dance of the region.
