Went on 7 day tour of macchu Picchu Cusco and Lima with gate one travel, the tour guide Ron did a fantastic job, whoever you go with get a guide to explain everything and go to the highest point and work down.

This traditional old quarter of Cusco is the city's most picturesque district characterized by narrow and steep streets, colonial houses built with walls of Incan stone and numerous art workshops.

So interesting to walk the narrow streets, observe the Incan stones providing support for the buildings. Great local restaurants. Be prepared for street vendors to follw you with their wares. Have a firm “no thank you” or Sols ready as they are persistent.

This ruin was once the most important temple of the Incas, which was later used as a base for the Church of Santo Domingo when the Spanish conquered the city.

A unique work of Inca architecture, very finely worked stones, today part of this ancient Inca temple is occupied by the Dominican order, and even though time has passed the Inca culture resists against it.

Take your time and stroll along the cobblestoned narrow streets flanked - on both sides - by stonewalls at the awesome "Centro Histórico" of Cusco. These streets are considered masterpieces of the ancient Incan masonry and urban design. They have survived centuries of earthquakes and other natural disasters, principally due to the fantastic Incan architecture and construction techniques. No wonder, Unesco has appointed, in 1983, the historical center of Cusco as a "World Heritage Site"! Unmissable! Enjoy!
