Stroll Through The City’s Historic Center
Cusco’s historical center represents the fusion of Incan settlements and a modern-day South American metropolis that draws visitors from all over the world. Nowadays, Cusco has a visually striking hybrid of scenery where time is portrayed in overlapping layers of history and culture with a mix of Spanish, Andean, and international influences. For that reason, it was declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1983, with over 100 historical monuments. The authentic old town has maintained a great part of its pre-Columbian distribution due to the Incas’ impressive knowledge of how to build their structures to be Earthquake proof. The main square; Plaza de Armas, is a lively place with plenty of restaurants and iconic buildings like the Cusco Cathedral.
