The capital of the Inca empire

And certainly one of the most important cities in the whole continent. I spent several days strolling along the beautiful (and also very touristry) streets of Cusco and visiting most of the inca ruins around it, including the spectacular Machu Picchu. I also did a 3-day rafting expedition on the Apurimac, trekked to the Choquequirao ruins, assisted to the overrated Inti Raymi festival and watched Spain being eliminated and Greece winning the title, among a few others games of the Euro Cup.
