Life in the community
The city of Cusco is nestled in the heart of the Andes Mountains,and stands as a living testament to the rich cultural heritage of Peru. Once the capital of the Inca Empire, Cusco’s cobblestone streets and ancient stone walls still bear witness to its glorious past. Beyond its architectural marvels, Cusco pulses with a vibrant and diverse musical heritage. Traditional Andean melodies, characterized by the haunting tones of panpipes and drums, blend seamlessly with Spanish influences, giving rise to unique genres of music. Cachimayo is a town of nearly 3,000 inhabitants located 30 minutes away of Cuzco, with an altitude of 3,400 meters.
