Cusco - Machu Picchu
Center of the World: Home to energy and mysticism

Four roads once led from Cuzco's main square to the four corners of the Inca empire that extended from what is today Ecuador and part of Colombia to northern Chile and Argentina, including all of Peru and Bolivia. An empire almost as vast as the Roman empire, the Inca nation was connected by a road network stretching over 23,000 km. (14,300 miles). Due to its position as the capital of the Inca dynasty, contemporary Cuzco, a city 3,300 meters above sea level (10,500 ft.) is a showcase of several different cultures: Pre-Inca, Inca, Colonial and republican. But Cuzco was more than just a capital city. It was an administrative, military and holy city, similar to Mecca, and is now the oldest inhabited city of the Americas. Many kinds of architecture are found here and one's eyes can feast on their splendid variety and combinations.

Machu Picchu: The lost city of the Incas

At a distance of 120 km. (75 miles) from Cuzco, in the valley of the Urubamba river, Machu Picchu rises to an altitude of 2,400 meters (7,900 ft.) above sea level between the Huayna Picchu (young peak) and Machu Picchu (old peak).

It lies within the spectacular framework provided by the exuberant vegetation of nearby jungle and the rugged landscape.The ruins are situated on the eastern slope of Machu Picchu in two different areas: the agricultural and the urban.
