VIDEO
Latika Cusco Travel has designed several
day tours and complete packages to let
travelers learn about the Inca and pre-Inca
cultures. Latika Cusco Travel’s goal is
to provide all the necessary information
about the history and beauty of Cusco as
well as to provide the best customer
service possible and Cusco Travel
details. Latika Cusco Travel has
prepared a short overview about Cusco
and its surroundings. The history of
Cusco started about 3,000 years ago when
a few inhabitants of the Tiahuanaco
Culture decided to settle next to the
River Huatanay. During the 1000s the
Incas settled in Cusco, but it was Inca
Pachacutec the Emperor who converted
Cusco in the Empire of the Incas.
Nowadays, Cusco is a cosmopolitan city
where it is possible to find the best of
the Southern Peruvian culture. Latika
Cusco Travel believes that the mysticism
of Cusco will make you feel as if you
are in a different world. Most people
planning to stay in Cusco for one or two
days go back home regretting their
choice.

Cusco
TRAVEL: City Tour |
|
 |
The
City of Cusco is surrounded by several
Incan and Colonial buildings. This
combination of buildings gives Cusco a
magical architecture and style. The
Cathedral of Cusco, completed in 1654,
is a masterpiece of Colonial
architecture. At the Qoricancha Temple,
the Spaniards built the Church of Santo
Domingo. This building is a clear
example of the use of Incan walls as the
base of Colonial buildings. The mystery
of Sacsayhuaman has been part of the
research of several archeologists from
all over the world because of its
immense stones placed together. |

CUSCO TRAVEL: Southern Cusco Tour 1 day |

Southern
Cusco was inhabited by the Waris, the
Incas, and the Spaniards, all of whom
chose the area because of its beauty and
rich land. About 1500 years ago the
Pre-Colombian culture named Wari built
Pikillacta, believed to be an
administrative and ceremonial center.
Later on in the same area, the Incas
built the Royal Gardens of Tipon, where
it is possible to observe an incredibly
perfect system of aqueducts as well as
beautiful terraces. During the colonial
period, the Spaniards built a church in
Andahuaylillas. Today this Church is
widely known as the Sistine Chapel of
South America. |
