CUSCO is Peru’s main tourist destination and one of the most important destinations in the Americas. Known because of the Incas as the “home of the gods”, Cusco became the capital of the largest pre Columbian empires: the Tahuantinsuyo meaning in Quechua for “The Four Regions”. This magnificent Empire is famous for its Inca trails system known as Kapacñan, which connects the capital Cusco with the far places in the empire. Actually is one of the most important attractions in Cusco and one of its paths the famous Inca Trail.
