Peru is the the land of mountainous adventure, and the home of many ancient civilizations that can put you in touch with the human experiment and social evolution right up to the brick and mortal it has been built with. So it's no surprise that Cusco is the starting off point for many explorations through Peru itself. Even in the city itself, many Inca pre-colonial sites can be found.
