According to legend, it was here that Manco Cápac planted his golden stick, thus indicating the point from which the future city was to develop. In an environment of ochre and green mountains, the square, on four sides, unwinds its arcades; the Catedral and the Iglesia de la Compañía enhance the most successful architectural ensemble of Peru. It is here that the Inti Raymi was celebrated, that Pizarro walked his triumph, that Manco Inca rose, that Túpac Amaru II was executed. It is a pleasure to sit here during the day and at night with the mountains watching over us.

PLAZA DE ARMAS DEL CUSCO - HAUKAIPATA
Place central de la ville, splendide, riche en ambiance et en histoire. Se perdre ici le soir et sur de ne pas s’ennuyer car toujours animé. Selon les jours de la semaine, spectacle de danse et de music local ou encore défilé des écoles de la région en uniforme tout les vendredis.

L'endroit est splendide...et chargé d'histoire.
Attention au Soroche en descendant de l'avion.

Très belle place encadrée par la cathédrale, l'église de la Compagnie de Jésus et les arcades surplombées de balcons anciens. Février est le mois du carnaval: spectacles magnifiques au son des instruments péruviens et des danses folkloriques.
