- Sun Street: There are no much places dating back to the Inca period in Cusco city even though it was the capital of the Inka empire many of the material sites were destroyed like our temples, palaces, aqueducts systems, Inka trecks, stables for our animals like the llamas and alpacas however, we still have the famous Street of the Sun, dedicated to our most venerated god in the Inca period: The Sun! Let´s revive our culture together.

- Blue Balconies: Many tourists
wonder about why our balconies in this city were painted in blue colour, not
just balconies but also many houses: Blue and White actually, the reason is very simple
these are the official colours of Cusco by royal decree in 1542, Blue resembles
the Elite Cusqueñian Societe living in this town during the colonial period, so
don´t miss these spots, you can learn more about these places by walking.
