Cusco seen from Sacsayhuamán with Plaza de Armas highly visible with the Cathedral and Company of Jesus Church.

Upmarket residential area

Saturday market at fancy San Blas little plaza. The flag is Cusco's Standard representing the rainbow.

Nowadays (unknowingly??) brought to global prominence through use by the gaycommunity.

Plaza de Armas

This is the most central place where the action is most of the time. A good place to start a strol in any direction to explore this beautiful City.
