Overview

Travel Agency Peru: Cusco’s Main Square was once the Centre of the Inca Empire, as the four Roads that ran through that Empire joined up at this spot. At the height of the Inca civilization, the Inca Empire extended from what is today Ecuador and parts of Colombia, taking in all of present day Peru and Bolivia and running down to Northern Chile and Argentina. Ruins, temples, churches, mansions and a variety of architecture makes Cusco a showcase for all the different Peruvian cultures and historical periods of our country, Pre-Inca, Inca, Colonial and Republican. Cusco is therefore a memorable destination, full of history and culture, a City with a splendid legacy and an obligatory destination for all who travel to our country. Cusco is also the departure point for visiting the impressive Inca Citadel of Machu Picchu.
