The following are the heritage sites, grouped into recommended gateway cities. This will help you in the logistics (travel and accommodation) to go to the sites.
CUSCO (CUZ)
Cusco is the majestic former capital of the Inca Empire and the undisputed historical heart of the Peruvian Andes. Sitting at a breathtaking altitude of 3,399 m, the city is a living museum of “Inca-Colonial” architecture, where ornate Spanish cathedrals and red-tiled villas are built directly upon the massive, mortarless stone foundations of ancient temples. Travelers flock to the vibrant Plaza de Armas to soak in the atmosphere, explore the golden history of the Qorikancha (Temple of the Sun), and wander through the artisan workshops of the San Blas neighborhood. As the primary gateway to the Sacred Valley and Machu Picchu, Cusco is not just a transit point but a cultural destination that rewards those who take the time to acclimatize and immerse themselves in its Andean soul.
