About Cuzco

Located in the Andean region of southeastern Peru is the city of Cuzco, also known as the Archeological Capital of the Americas or the "Center of the World" in the native Quechua tongue.

A living museum of history, the ancient capital of the Incan Empire is undoubtedly one of the most fascinating cities in the Peruvian Andes. Despite the heavy Spanish influence and the 500 years that have passed since the decline of the empire, its unique architecture still denotes a stunning past.
