The city is nestled in a beautiful valley high in the Andes - but sadly much of it doesn't do the setting justice!
Local people from all over the country gathered in Cusco city square to parade in their traditional costumes - very colourful!
Die Kathedrale von Cusco (spanisch Catedral Basílica de la Virgen de la Asunción) ist die wichtigste Kirche von Cusco in Peru. Auf diesem Platz stand ehemals der Inkatempel des Wiraqucha und ist seit 1983 Teil des UNESCO-Weltkulturerbes.
Plaza de Armas, Iglesia de la Compañía de Jesús, Cusco, Peru
(außerhalb Perus in der Regel Cuzco; auf Quechua Qusqu oder Qosqo)
Dating from 1805, the cloister of the novices brings together under its Romanesque brick vaults a beautiful collection of paintings by the Cusco School of the 18th, which represent the 55 litanies of the Virgin.
The San Pedro Market in Cusco is situated about an eight minute walk south from Plaza de Armas, but it's a world away in its difference. The market is filled with life, colour, noise and smells. Everything from raw meats and spices to frying chicken and lomo saltado (stir fried beef) will greet you. All kinds of fresh fruits, and fruit juices are on sale. No matter what you want, you'll find it in the San Pedro Market in Cusco.

Pikillaqta[1] (Quechua piki flea, llaqta a place (village, town, community, country, nation), "flea place", also spelled Piki Llacta, Pikillacta, Piquillacta, Piquillaqta) is a large Wari culture archaeological site 20 kilometres (12 mi) east of Cusco in the Quispicanchi Province.
Pikillaqta is a village of the Wari people. Wari was the centre village and other cities like Pikillaqta were influenced by it. The Wari also inhabited many other sites around the area. The site was occupied from about 550 to 1100 AD. Its main use was for ceremonies and the site was not complete when it was abandoned.
In January, my husband and I took a “bucket list” trip to Peru and Ecuador, using the excellent tour company, Road Scholar. The trip was awesome! This is the Cathedral Basilica of the Assumption of the Virgin, also known as Cusco Cathedral, in Cusco, Peru. Texture by Kerstin Frank art.
