Main Destinations

Cusco & Machu Picchu

The legend of Incas tells about Manco Capac that came from the south to found the city inspired by the God Sun. The true story is that after Tiahuanaco culture falls, people from Titicaca came and start to build a town where we know today as the center of the city. It has passed hundred of years until Incas became an important tribe and winning strength to beat their closest enemies.
From Pachacútec, 70 years before the arrival of the Spanish the Incas became in a strong kingdom, passing from a Southern Andes Government to an Empire that covers from the south of Colombia and Quito, to the north of Argentina and Chile.
When Spanish came they found an empire in development, so it was quite easy to break the system and beat the empire, establishing Cusco as one of the most important cities of the colony.
