Cusco has an altitude of about 3400 meters; Urubamba has an altitude of about 2800 meters. Cusco Cathedral is special because it is a model of Spanish colonial architecture built on the heart of Inca civilization and the most shocking physical witness of cultural conquest, conflict and integration. The church houses a large number of fine paintings from the colonial period, the most important of which are works created by local indigenous painters under the guidance of Spanish techniques, forming a unique "Cusco School of Painting". What is very interesting is that in a European imitation of "The Last Supper" in the church, the main course on the table is painted as Peruvian roasted guinea pig (Cuy), and the Andean "Chicha" corn wine is in the glass. In the afternoon, drive to Urubamba to check in and rest. Cusco is the ancient capital of the Inca Empire. Its name means "the center of the world" and "the navel of the earth" in Inca. When the Inca Empire and the city of Cusco began is still a mystery, but tracing the history of Cusco, historical records record that "the city was built in 1100 AD", and the Inca Empire established its capital here around 1120. Cusco has now become the "cradle of ancient Inca culture" and an irreplaceable spiritual shrine in the eyes of Inca descendants.

On February 7, Machu Picchu took the Inca Trail Scenic Train on the morning of the morning. This glass-dome sightseeing train was specially designed for this Inca Trail, allowing tourists to enjoy the scenery outside the window and go to the Inca Empire, which was selected as the seven wonders of the world.

This century-old building was originally an opera house, and was later transformed into the Athenian Bookstore. When I came to the bookstore, I stood on the first floor and looked up. The surrounding lights illuminated the bookstore to make it magnificent and beautiful. Coupled with the quiet atmosphere, the environment was elegant and simple, and the atmosphere was excellent. Then visit [Boca District](about 30 minutes), which is the first port in Buyi City.
