Historical overlook
 
According to the legend, Cusco, the sacred city and capital of the Tahuantinsuyo empire, was founded around the eleventh and twelfth century AD by Inca Manco Cápac, who emerged from Lake Titicaca.

Cusco was the center of government of four large administrative regions of the Inca empire that extended over most of what is now Ecuador, Colombia, Peru, Bolivia, Argentina and Chile.

The Inca society was an admirable example of political and social organization. The Incas possessed vast knowledge in the areas of architecture, hydraulics, medicine and agriculture.
On March 23rd, 1534, Francisco Pizarro founded a Spanish city upon the foundations of the Inca buildings which makes Cusco a typical example of cultural fusion, which has also inherited invaluable monuments and works of art.

Important insurrections against Spanish domination took place in Colonial Cusco such as the ones led by José Gabriel Condorcanqui (Túpac Amaru II) in 1 780, the Angulo brothers in 1 813 and Mateo Pumacahua in 1 814.
In 1 911, American investigator Hiram Bingham discovered the impressive Inca citadel of Machu Picchu. Today, tourism and agriculture are Cusco's main economic activities.
