"Cuzco, the ancient capital of the Inca Empire, is one of the most fascinating cities of Latin America. Just two blocks from the city's centre, travellers and students meet each other in the traditional bars where you can feel the welcoming warmth of the locals. In Cuzco, you will step back in time, with its inhabitants wrapped in multicoloured blankets passing by with their llamas. You absolutely cannot miss the unique opportunity!"
