Plaza de Armas
The Incas transformed the Plaza de Armas from marshland to the administrative and cultural center of their empire. Where once Inca palaces stood, the Spanish built churches and homes. Now the center of modern Cuzco, it's marked by restaurants, jewelry and clothing boutiques, bars and clubs, and travel agencies. It's the perfect place to rest on a bench and people-watch while appreciating the Incan walls and the colonial baroque Cathedral and Churches or watch the frequent parades and festivals.
Remains of Hatunrumiyoc
The Incan wall on the narrow cobblestone street of Hatunrumiyoc formed part of the palace of Inca Roca. Today, combined with colonial structures, it forms the Archbishop's Palace/Art Museum. The stones were shaped and then fitted together without mortar. Look for the famous 12-angled stone, famous for the perfect union of its sides and corners with the surrounding stones. This stonework was favored for the residences of the elite for its strength and aesthetic appeal.
Maras
In the Sacred Valley of the Incas, the people of Maras sustain themselves in the same manner they have for centuries. Along the slope of Qaqawiñay Mountain one finds miles of staggered white terraces with indescribably stunning gradients of tone and texture. This wonder is formed by 3000 shallow pools irrigated by a subterranean stream flowing from the mountain. During the dry season the water trickling through the pools each 3 days is allowed to evaporate repeatedly, amassing the solid salt.
Inca Trail
United the empire across 6 countries, crossing the Andes and reaching into deserts and coasts. Its most famous segment is the 4 day Inca Trail from km 82 to the ruins of Machu Picchu. It's 26 miles through mountain landscapes, cloud-forest, and subtropical jungle showcasing the ruins of Llactapata, Runkurakay, Sayacmarca, Phuyupatamarca, Wiñay Wayna, and scattered Inca tunnels and paved paths. It ends on the Huayna Picchu summit to watch the sun rise over Machu Picchu.
