 want expresarte my gratefulness by served by your empresa.en Cusco, Machupichu and the Sacred Valley of the Incas Everything has been very satisfactory. If at some moment we returned to its country I will not doubt in contacting you. Very many thanks for everything.

The fertile valley of the Urubamba river, also called the Vilacanota, snakes its way through the old Inca providence of antisuyo, an area which the Incas valued greatly. There, beside this tributary of de amazon, they built their  retreats,palaces and sacred places: the fortress of Ollantaytambo(clinig to the steep sides  of the river´s),Pisac with its Inca  canal, 3Km long, its imposing terraces and, of course, the once - lost Machu Pichu.

 Urumbamba means ´place ofthe bugs or spiders´but the area is called the proliferation of ruins. yet, some do suggest the valley is sacred  because its was Cuscco´s granary, and others becauseit is connected with the sun adn sky. (Howerer, There´s no question it was very importand  to the Incas, And previosly unknown  carving were uncovered in the valley in march 200). Onequechua legend says that after the sun sets in the evening it pases through the underworld  beneat the Urubamba where it drinks  the chill water to refresh itself before emergin at dawn. Another legend says that the Urubamba is theearthly mirror of the celestial river, the Milky Way, and that water flows from one into the other.

During the time of the Incas it was called Huacaypata or Square of the Warrior. It was the setting of various crucial events throughout the history of Cusco

Cusco. Every year, people celebrated in this place the Inti Raymi or Sun Festivity; and this was also the place in where Francisco Pizarro proclaimed the conquest of Cusco. With the Spaniards arrival, the square was surrounded by stone arches that even today embellish it. (Centre of the city).

Cradle of legendary feats, the Main Square of Cusco was called “Huacaypata” or “Square of the Warrior” during the time of the Incas. It reminds us of times when it was a significant ceremonial place where, every year, they carried out the spectacular celebration of Inti Raymi or “Sun Festivity”. It was the place where Francisco Pizarro, together with his Spanish entourage, proclaimed the conquest of Cusco, or the setting in where the Indigenous caudillo Tupac Amaru was executed.

The square was transformed with the Spaniards arrival. The stone arches, as well as the constructions that even today surround the square, were built during that period. It is surrounded by a beautiful arcade that was constructed during the conquest. In this place are also located the churches of the Cathedral and the Society of Jesus, which make up a real tourist temptation.

Cuzco is really a charming city. It has little more than 200,000 inhabitants and a special touch. Their architectonic wealth and the colorful one of their streets, their clothes and their inhabitants turns it a small jewel that does not have to be let visit. For many, it is only one city of step or lodging to visit Machu Picchu, but really it is much more. It is worth the trouble, mainly, to take a walk by the district of San Blas, where they are the stores of the craftsmen. That yes, with patience because the height makes our steps heavier than customary, and because we will find several hills in our route. He is recommendable, when arriving, to take kills of cocaine to move away altitude sickness and to take with calm the first hours is accustomed. From there, already you can cross the city, the small factories of crafts (there is one wonderful one in the Avenue of the Sun), to know the dances traditional

Gli Incas avevano molte differenti istorie per descrivere il incominciamento di suo mondo, Tahuantinsuyo, i quattro quarti della Terra. D’accordo con la leggenda, i primi ancestri degli Incas furono Manco Cápac, figlio del Inti, il Sole e sua sorella e moglie Mama Ocllo, figlia di La Luna. Loro vennero del Lago Titicaca, che è nella frontiera di Perú con Bolivia.

Gli Incas credereno che erano la maggiore di tutte le civilizzazioni. Cominciando in 1,300, gli Incas cominciarono a conquistare terre vicine. 300 anni più tardi, controllarono un immenso impero, più grande che la distanza tra la costa est e ovest degli Stati Uniti oggi.

Anche se il numero di Incas arrivò a circa di 40,000 suo impero se estendió a più di 2,500 miglio allo estenso della costa ovest di Sudamerica. Governarono a più di 12 milione di personi, conformate di più di 100 differenti tipo di gente, parlando 20 differenti lingoe. In suo apogeo il impero copriò terre che adesso conformano il Perú, il nord di Chile, il Ovest lontano di Argentina, parte della Bolivia, Equatore e le parte sudegne di Colombia. Fu il maggiore impero conosciuto in America.

The city of PUNO is in a beautiful bay and between hills and there before you MORE HIGH LAKE OF THE WORLD. Join very important legends of the Inca culture, it is said that a foam bubbling exited the first Inca Manco Capac and Mama Ocllo, sons of the sun god, which chose the site because it is pure and food.

The mandate of his father was found the Inca empire to do so should FIND A PLACE where to sink the small bar (so stick gold), which gave the sun god, they carry out the mandate they were seeking the chosen location and small bar sank in Cusco, known as the capital of the Incan Empire.

The lake has a lot of islands They include: “Taquile, an island where the residents made their customs tourist trade, with lodgings, keeping everything as if time had not passed and selling it as a tourist experience, is beautiful, as they arrive and make you ceremony, they teach you their dances, dress where cook, where their animals, like cultivating, harvesting and, as spinning and weaving, their rites absolutely everything, plus you can bring memories.

The other is the island that highlights what Uros, is built on the lake, but do not create it CONSTRUIDA with reeds, and people built their homes on top when this there, feeling that moves a little, the people should continue putting the reeds, ever.
Something more, are Chulpas of Sillustani, belonging to the Tiahuanaco culture, is a pre-Inca culture, it PUNO between development and the part adjacent to our sister country BOLIVIA. She also leave us utensils, huacos, tissues found, it constructs a tubular and high, known as Chulpas, were said to have been places where the dead were buried, others hypothesize that were places to store food, and others say it was more a ceremonial center, but the truth is that arrive and you see some things there in the middle of everything, and very well-built giant rock to rock. The mummies they found at the site are in the museum site.

Q The time I recommend to hear Puno is in the months of January and March, because there are many parties with dancing costume contests remember that Puno is the capital of the world and folkloric dances are very beautiful and interesting as “morenada”, “King caporal “,” Cow Cow “(in this dance and the ladies are 50 polleras, are like long skirts with pleats so dance when you see many colors).
Also at this time makes it less cold, but always makes EYE cold so you must be cherished.

My trip to Cusco was brilliant! I passed too much or, I knew quite friendly people, Uruguayan, other Mexican, Greeks which they were very graceful and other Brazilian that did not understand anything to them, jaja, although they if to my, I did not leave to any disc because my sister is not to leave by the nights, mainly because we finished cansadotas of as much walking, and torrensiales rains that either do not ponian it of the good humor… I believe that to my sister it did not like much to walk climbing hill, in fact was apostatizing, but good, I if I passed it very good.
