Cusco's Editor's Choice

Cusco's historic center showcases a fusion of Inca masonry and Spanish colonial architecture. Highlights include the Cathedral’s religious art, the precise engineering of the Twelve-angled-stone, and the hilltop military ruins of Puka Pukara. The artisan district of San Blas offers narrow streets and workshops, while San Pedro Market provides a glimpse into local trade. Specialized museums document the region's heritage through exhibits on Inca mummies, chocolate manufacturing, the medicinal and ritual uses of the coca leaf, and the production of pisco.
