Description
"Calle Zetas Sign, Cusco, Peru" by Catherine Sherman.
A sign decorated with Peruvian flowers and a golden shield indicates Calle Zetas in the historic area of Cusco, Peru, in the Andes Mountains. The square cut rock that forms the wall is typical of wall construction from Inca days.
Cusco, often spelled Cuzco, is a city in southeastern Peru, near the Urubamba Valley of the Andes mountain range. It is the capital of the Cusco Region as well as the Cusco Province. In 2013, the city had a population of 435,114. Located on the eastern end of the Knot of Cuzco, its elevation is around 11,200 feet (3,400 meters).
The site was the historic capital of the Inca Empire from the 13th until the 16th-century Spanish conquest. In 1983 Cusco was declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO. It has become a major tourist destination, hosting nearly 2 million visitors a year. The Constitution of Peru designates it as the Historical Capital of Peru. Many people begin their journey to the ancient Inca citadel of Machu Picchu in Cusco.
