Why you'll love Cusco, Peru

Cusco's proximity to Machu Picchu – a UNESCO World Heritage site and one of the new 7 Wonders of the World – makes it an increasingly popular destination.  As you walk among the cobblestone streets of Cusco, you’ll hear Quechua and pan-flute music and observe traditional dress. Admire the 12-angled stone crafted by the Inca and contemplate colonial design at the church of Santo Domingo, constructed above the Inca temple of Coricancha.
