Cuscoの歴史
Cusco, the former Inca capital, was founded in 1180 AD by Sapa Inca Pachacuti and became a major centre for the Inca Empire. The Spanish conquest in 1533 brought significant architectural changes, as colonial-era buildings and churches were constructed on top of existing Inca structures. Today, Cusco's historic centre is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, with a mix of Inca stonework, Spanish colonnades, and modern adaptations. The city's contemporary cultural identity is a vibrant blend of indigenous traditions, colonial heritage, and modern Peruvian art. Visitors can experience this rich cultural heritage through the city's many museums, festivals, and traditional markets.

Airport exit (main road) → Plaza de Armas (2 blocks from Hostal La Union)
💡 Boards outside the terminal on Av. La Cultura. Flag one down. They're cramped with luggage, fine with a small backpack. Drop at 'Plaza' – then walk up Calle Suecia.
Av. Grau (colectivo stop) → Ollantaytambo (for train to Machu Picchu)
💡 Faster than bus. Hail one heading west on Av. Grau (cars with 'Ollantaytambo' on windshield). They leave when full (4-5 passengers). Much cheaper than PeruRail's shuttle.
Alejandro Velasco Astete International Airport (CUZ) → Hostal La Union (Cusco city centre)
💡 Don't take touts at arrivals. Walk past the taxi sellers to the official 'Taxi Seguro' booth just outside – same price, no haggling.
Av. Grau (2 blocks from Hostal La Union) → Urubamba (Sacred Valley)
💡 Cheapest way to the Sacred Valley. Look for 'El Chaski' or 'Túpac Amaru' signs. Sit on the left for views of Patacancha Valley. Cash only – exact change.
