The Navel of the Inca Empire - Cusco

Cusco, or Cosco (as it should be known), is the gateway to Machu Picchu, the most visited tourist attraction of South America. Evidence of the Inca´s history is widely found, but all of the buildings were raped by the Spanish, who rightly so, don´t seem to popular in these parts. The centre is full of colonial architecture, constructed using the stones of the surrounding Inca temples. It´s a pretty place to explore, but the Irish pubs, tour operators, street vendors and woman and llama´s walking the streets gets a bit much. Tourists = $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ to the local population, and I don´t blame them, most of these tourist plonkers have no idea.
