Cusco can be easily considered one of the most interesting city in South America and hiking around lets to discover buildings erected over ancient Inca walls, picturesque corners and comperhensive museums dedicated to pre-colonial time.

With its picturesque streets, Cusco is a nice city to explore on foot. Often, old Inca walls can be seen as they are used as a basementfor colonial-time buildings.

Luckly, in this museum it is permitted to take pictures. Here there are examples of mortars, masks and bottles. In the lower-left picture, a small art gallery.

Inca Museum from outside. Unfortunately it isn't permtted to take pictures inside, anyway the museum is very interesting and comperhensive, taking long time to see everything.
I continue to walk in the narrow streets of Cusco.
