The City of Cusco, in Peru, is currently known as the cultural capital of the country, but its important history goes back much further. As the oldest living city in the Americas, Cusco has been continuously inhabited for over 3,000 years. It was the historical capital of the Inca Empire from the thirteenth century to the sixteenth century until the Spanish conquest, and is now a major tourist destination, receiving almost 2 million visitors per year. So if you're heading to Peru, be sure to brush up on the history of Cusco in Peru before you leave so you can begin to understand the role it's played over time. Walking through the streets of the ancient city and witnessing the sacred archaeological centers will not be the same afterwards!
