Peruvians like to sculpture signs and messages into the mountain sides.
Cuzco us an Inca city and the evidence of this is in the buildings. Many of the buildings have the classic Inca-styled stonework base supporting Spanish architecture on top. It is a city of significance to the Incas, featuring in Inca legend and it us thought to be a mystical place with energy lines and cosmic connections. I didn’t sense any if that but it is an interesting city and does have a vibrant feel to it. There are constantly people everywhere.
After the Spanish came through they destroyed the Inca city and rebuilt it there way. Cuzco became just an ordinary regional town until Matchupicchu was discovered in 1911. Life changed as tourists started coming into. Today it is very much a tourist city but still retains heaps of character.
Today I return to Lima via Peruvian Airways and arrive around 2.30pm.
