Once the capital of the Inca Empire,
this historic city is the gateway to the Sacred Valley of the Incas and
one of the most important sites in indigenous Peruvian culture.
Spanish colonial houses, exquisite food, musicians in traditional dress, oceanfront entertainment and fine museums make the Peruvian capital a feast for the senses.
This 16th-century emperor’s garden tomb, commissioned nine years after the ruler’s death, is an early example of red sandstone and marble Mughal architecture.
