11,000 feet up in the Andes sits Cusco, the ancient Inca capital transformed by the Spanish into a fantastic colonial city. Cusco however has never lost its Indian roots.
- Pros:Fantastic Architecture in a breathtaking natural surrounding
- Cons:Not much breath to be taken away at this altitude!
- In a nutshell:You absolutely must see this city!

Great photos Jim
From the guinea pig to eat to the convent, cathedrals, churches, Cristo Blanco, it's all a weal of culture, history, and beauty. But, the photos of the locals, especially children, was the best. Also enjoyed artisan markets, fountain, museums, and plazas.
Thanks for visiting my Phnom Penh page! Great pics from Peru! Your tips are helping me plan my visit in December!
Hi jim, great tips and photos of cusco, one of the most famous place in south america! Looking forward to your tips & more photos of your recent trip to singapore, malaysia & cambodia :)
All the pages I've seen on Peru always includes the roast guinea pig. So.....did you try it?!! Great pics on Cusco Jim!
Thanks for stopping by my Venice page. Great pics of Cusco...brought back great memories! We stayed in a hotel on the Plaza de Nazarenas when we were there.
Nice pictures. Brought back memories..
After seeing your fine pictures, I felt again that there is no need for me to try to show it all. I can just try to focus on tips, stories and special bits of information. Keep up the good work. bob
