    Cusco was once the capital of the vast Inca empire and the navel of the world. Remnants of that power are everywhere, just keep a keen eye out. While the Spanish buil their colonial capital on top of the Inca city, they often used the walls and foundations of their predecessors.

    Just hanging around in Cusco, walking form there to here and form here to there is nice activity! :-D
    There are lots of small shops or churches around, so you might see some very nice places not mentioned in your guide!

    Dominated by the magnificent Cathedral, this graceful square is considered the heart of Cusco and is characterized by covered walkways, colonial arcades and houses containing numerous shops, restaurants and travel agencies.

    These narrow streets are a source of endless fascination. It is so fun to walk around the town and discover all there is in Cusco ... colorful costumes, beuatiful, smiling faces, tiny shops and -- best of all -- some of the most remarkable Incan reasures to be seen.

    A walking tour will take you past Inca walls with giant granite blocks that look like the pieces of a giant jigsaw puzzle. Check out the hand-cut angles in the 12-angled stone (see this tip) and find the outlines of the puma stone. Observing the walls will give you a chance to brush up on your knowledge of Andean history.

    Keep in mind that the Incas built these massive walls without mortar or cement of any kind and with no knowledge of the wheel or horses, and that they constructed one of the world's greatest empires, reaching from one end of South America to another, without a written language and with runners who relayed messages to rulers!

    Walking aimlessly is always fun in a new city. We discovered some of the picturesque, narrow, cobblestone avenues (often steep) where you wouldn't think driving a car through would be possible (but is - and sometimes at remarkable speeds!). It is interesting to explore areas other than the tourist center, for example, we saw a market where locals would purchase their food, the wealthier residential as well as more impoverished, usually mountainside dwellings. Strolling the Cusco streets is very enjoyable as once you are out of the main square, you are bothered much less frequently by peddlers.
