Cusco is Peru’s main tourist destination and one of the most important destinations in the Americas. Known by the Incas as the “Home of the Gods,” Cusco became the capital of one of the largest pre-Columbian empires: the Tawantinsuyo. Its name in Quechua means “ Navel of the World”.

The pre-Columbian setting encompasses modern sports activities such as trekking and mountain climbing in the Andes. Likewise, it seems that priests that sacrificed Juanita in 1466 must have had mountain climbing skills to be able to climb the Ampato peak (6380 masl) to carry out their sacred ritual. You can fly over the Pachacamac temple (Lima) and the Sacred Valley (Cusco) in a hang-glider. This particular combination of tradition and modernity is enriched by the natural environment with ideal climates and ecosystems to provide you with varied activities, such as mountain biking along the Andean mountain range. Canoeing is also practiced in the white water large rivers such as Colca, Cotahuasi and Apurimac that run through deep canyons that make up one of the world’s great canyon circuits.
