Cuzco, the city core in South American history, ancient capital of the Inca Empire, now the colonial city's Old Town more beautiful on the continent, in June celebrates a number of festivals not to be missed, from the catholic celebration of Corpus Christi, to the scenic representation of world Inca called Inti Raymi. The city, but especially the Plaza Mayor, became a succession of processions, costumes, dancing and parades. A good opportunity to discover this city hall of Macchu Picchu and Peruvian pride for excellence
