TRADITIONAL CUSCO - 04 DAYS
Cusco, the most important pre-Columbian metropolis in the continent, is repository and inheritor of a cultural tradition, developed throughout the Peruvian territory from 18 thousand years BC. It is a living museum where in its atmosphere still perceived greatness of remote times. To make a full description or interpretation of Cusco and its privileged inhabitants would be a gigantic work of hundreds and even thousands of volumes. It is that destiny has rewarded this "Navel of the World" with privileged and excellent quality of nature, geography and people; capable of having developed one of the most advanced civilizations for its time.
Whenever we encounter a place whose written history is missing, the temptation to imagine what it was like and who lived there is strong. We picture people walking through the streets and squares, sitting or performing ceremonies, using their tableware, wearing their ornaments; no living or written testimonies remain, but we all know that something like that happened in that place. Archaeology and ethnohistory help answer these and other questions, but they certainly have limitations.
Peru Mysteries offers you the ease of visiting Cusco and its surroundings in a short time, which means that you will not lose anything of this magical place in your visit. come and enjoy this mysterious place with us.
