Do you want to see the monuments of the economic and cultural capital of one of the most powerful empires in history? Join the best Essential Free Tour of Cusco to discover the heart of this spectacular city walking with an experienced local guide and a group of likeminded international travelers. It will be an unforgettable experience allowing guests to learn about the dramatic rise, expansion and fall of the once mighty Inca Empire. Early on the tour, your guide will welcome you all with an introduction to how, since the 13th century, the Inca tribes incorporated parts of what is now Peru, Ecuador, Bolivia, Argentina, Chile, and Colombia into their territory. All this huge territory was ruled from the Inca capital, Cusco... until the Spanish conquerors entered into the city in 1572 after a bloody fight.
