The fame achieved
by archeological Cusco can be found well before the Inca Age. Cusco dates
back about 1000 years before Christ when the Marcavalle culture was in force.
From there, Chamepata began. The history of the contemporary culture of
Pucara in Puno was lost until the Waris conquered the zone, including it in
the Wari's Empire. After the Waris, the region re-established itself, first
with the Killke Culture and then with the Incas.
In the past, Cusco represented the center of Incan civilization. It was the
capital of the Andean state of Tahuantinsuyo. According to legend, it was
founded by Manco Capac and Mama Ocllo between the 11th and 12th centuries.
Later, due to an order by Spaniard Francisco Pizarro, this city was founded
again in March 23, 1534.
Tourism
Cusco is considered to be the archaeological capital of America. It was
nicknamed the "World's Navel" by the Incas. It is now the first cultural
center of Peru and has been proclaimed as "Humankind's Cultural Heritage" by
UNESCO.
Cusco's beauty and history make this a haven for tourists. Throughout the
city there are important archaeological monuments like the Sacsayhuaman's
Fortress, Kenko, Tambomachay's Baths, Pisac's terraces, and Ollantaytambo's
Fortress. And of course we can't forget Machu Picchu, which was discovered
by Hiram Bingham in 1911 and now known as "the Capital of America" or
"Eternal City".
The large number of museums and churches has made Cusco the most important tourist area in Peru. The Inca Trail also offers an amazing look at the beauty of the terrain surrounding Machu Picchu.
