Cuzco

Lima might be the capital of Peru, but Cuzco felt like the central heart of the country. Maybe it is because this was the center of the Inca civilization, or maybe it’s because all tourist roads seem to lead here, but coming to Cuzco soon felt like coming home as I used it as a jumping off point to explore the many areas outside of the city. To read my blog about Cuzco, go here.
