Cuzco, Peru


Inca ruins around Cuzco.

Our next stop was on our way back up north to Ecuador. We visited, what once used to be the Inca Capital... CUZCO! Of course now it looks more like a European city then an Inca Empire settlment. Mainly becuase it was destroyed by Pizzaro and his men, and then rebuilt on top using the Spanish architecture. You can however still see remains of the Inca walls all around. Specialy since most of the current buildings have their walls build on top of the Inca foundations. Other than that, Cuzco is a busy and very much modern city.
