Known as the “navel of the world” or as the capital of the Inca Empire, the city of Cusco, Peru, brings in its cultural baggage much more than beautiful landscapes and stories from ancient civilizations.
The torn eyes and well-defined traits of its population of about 430,000 people show a reality that few can see.
The needy people of the region count on the help of volunteers to maintain a better quality of life and to reinforce education and interest in the culture of other countries.
Yes! The Cultural Heritage of Humanity – title given by UNESCO in 1983 – is the scene of more intense and thoughtful natural beauty than ever imagined.
