Cusco, Peru

Peru

Cusco, Peru holds 195 Bunkabop connections with 5070 places across 22 topics, with history making up the largest share. The city's pre-Inca past reaches back to the Killke culture, who occupied the region from 900 to 1200 AD before the Inca arrived. Under Spanish colonization it developed the Cuzco School, a distinctive local painting tradition whose works fill the city's cathedral. Its connections run strongly with Lima, Peru and Spain, reflecting both its national centrality, designated Historical Capital of Peru by the 1993 constitution, and its deep colonial-era ties.
