Traditional Tours 2012

Cusco has become the highlight of most people traveling to Peru and South America. The ancient capital of the Inca Empire and its surroundings has a combination of history, mysticism and authenticity that is rarely equaled by any other city in the continent. This magical touch has drawn the interest of artists, photographers, shamans and thousands of travelers every year.

The city offers innumerable attractions, from wandering along its well-preserved colonial streets, to visiting Inca archaeological sites, inca textiles in Chinchero, visiting the very interesting Inca Museum, or just enjoying its rich gastronomy and always-active nightlife.
