The Starting Point of the Inca Civilization: Cusco

Cusco is a must-visit city on your way to Machu Picchu. It is a city full of history and charm. While Machu Picchu is one of the New Seven Wonders of the World, the ancient city of Cusco should not be overlooked! 🗓️ Itinerary: 🌞 The Temple of the Sun is one of the main attractions in Cusco, where you can learn about the transition of the Inca people from worshiping the Sun God to adopting Catholicism. The old town of Cusco is centered around Plaza de Armas, an incredibly beautiful square! The churches here have a unique style compared to those in other South American countries, with red bricks as the main feature. Around the square, you can easily spot traces of Inca civilization, the most famous being the Twelve-Angled Stone, which perfectly showcases the precision of ancient Inca architecture.
