Peru - Cusco - Ollantaytambo - Inca - Part1

Cusco is the historical capital of Peru which was the Inca Empire capital from 13th century - 1532.  Today, Cusco is a tourist mecca where travelers from all parts of the globe come to explore the Inca world.  The disappearance of the Inca civilization was attributed by the Spanish colonization.  As you will see, Cusco has been remarkably well preserved combining the influences of both worlds.  Until you get to Ollantaytambo, you begin to sense the deep rooting of a culture and people, before it was unionized.






Layers of Inca culture has been buried by Spanish influence as you see from the above picture of a Spanish cathedral.
