A place I have visited

The best place that I had ever visited is Cusco and its surroundings. Cusco is a

very beautiful small city, located in the southeast of Perú at a height of 3.400

meters.

Cusco is a very beautiful small city. With colonial buildings like the cathedral called

Basilica Virgen de la Asunción. Lamentably a big part of the Cusco’s beauty comes

from the dispossession of the inca people: many amazing walls and buildings of

the city were built with stones stolen from the inca’s temples. It was the dark side of

the colonial process. Buy, despite that, Cusco is a real beautiful place.

The surroundings of Cusco are very cute too, places like the Sacred Valley, which

is a lovely place. It looks over the mountains, there are hardly any cars there and

there are hardly villages too. So, the place is very quiet and natural and has a

spectacular landscape.

Certainly, the archaeological sites are the most interesting attractions of the

Cusco´s surroundings, and without doubt, Macchu Picchu is the most important

archaeological place in this region. It is a city placed at 3000 mts, in the mountains,

made of stones. It has sacred places where incas did its rituals, and habitational

buildings, graners, astronomic observatories, etc. It is an amazing place, looks out

over the mountains, surrounded by vegetation, and it was the last inca´s shelter

after colonization process. Being in Machu Picchu I felt a deep connection with

American ancient history and with nature landscape too

So, Cusco and Mache Picchu are -between the places that I have traveled- my

favorites.
