Nous voila maintenant a Cuzco, la seule ville d´Amerique qui a constamment ete habitee depuis plusieurs siecles. Cette ville est lotie dans les montagnes et est une petite merveille. La Plaza de Armas est magnifique et la Cathedrale y siege joliment. Il y a tellement de musees et d´ecglises et chappelles a Cuzco qu´on n´a pas eu le temps de tout visiter (et en plus ca peut revenir a cher car il faut payer pour entrer presque partout), sans compter les sites archeologiques un peu tout autour de la ville.
Un de ces sites, Saqsaywaman (prononcer "sexy woman"!!) est une merveille pour les fans de vestiges Incas.
Cuzco nous fait vraiment plonger au milieu de la culture Inca, tres vivante encore aujourd´hui iet fierte des "cuzquenos" (habitants de Cuzco).

Here we are in Cuzco, the only city in America that has been constantly inhabited since it was created. It was created by the Incas. It is situated in a valley and surrounded by mountains. The Plaza de Armas is absolutely beautiful with the grand Cathedral there. There are a lot of museums and churches to visit - so many that we couldn´t see them all (apart from the fact that it could become quite expensive too as you have to pay to enter any of those, which is a shame). Moreover there are plenty of Inca archeological sites around the city for the fans. One of them is Saqsaywaman (pronounce "sexy womann"!) is very interesting.
Cuzco really puts us into the Inca culture, which is very alive today and is the Cuzquenos´pride.
