Les meilleures choses à faire à Cuzco

Cusco’s historic center showcases a unique blend of Inca engineering and Spanish colonial architecture. This selection covers the city's core, from the expansive Plaza de Armas and the art-filled Cusco Cathedral to the precise masonry of the Twelve-angled-stone. Beyond the stone walls, the Inca Museum displays pre-Columbian artifacts and mummies, while the San Blas District offers a look at traditional Andean craftsmanship and contemporary galleries. For a taste of daily life, the San Pedro Market serves as a primary hub for local produce and regional textiles.
