I have traveled to ...


I have traveled to Cusco, which is located in the south of Peru. and It is a major tourist destination and receives almost 2 million visitors a year. It is designated as the Historical Capital of Peru by the Constitution of Peru. I traveled with my family to know more about the Inca culture by visiting many famous places. First, I went to Macchu Pichhu, one of the seven wonders in the world. Then, I visited Saksaywaman which is a walled complex on the northern outskirts of the city of Cusco. Like many Inca constructions, the complex is made of large polished dry stone walls, with boulders. Nowadays Inti Raymi which is the annual Inca festival of the winter solstice and new year is celebrated there on June 24th. Unfortunately, I haven't participated in the Inty Raymi. But I could went to the cathedral and the barrio San Blas where you can find a lot of crafts.
