The Coricancha, Cuzco: Portals of Ancient Peru Part 1 - with Freddy Silva & intro by Hugh Newman
Explore Peru, Bolivia & Easter Island with Hugh Newman & Jj Ainsworth in November 2018: In this video Freddy Silva discusses the sacred sites of ancient Peru, the worldwide connections, sacred water sites, magnetism, alignments and more, at the sacred Coricancha complex in Cuzco. It is said to be the 'centre of the world' or 'navel' with pathways going out from this axis-mundi across Peru, surrounded by the polygonal walls of the Palace of Inca Roca. Join us there again in June 2017 with guest host Robert Bauval.

Visiting the Inca fortress-temple of Sacsayhuaman in Cusco
Sacsayhuaman is an Inca fortress-temple in Cusco, Peru. It's known for its zigzag, terraced walls and remarkable Inca stonework. Here's a look at our visit!
The archaeological site of Sacsayhuaman is located 3 and a half kilometers north of the Main Square of the Cusco. and it is a 10 minute ride from there. It is located at 3,700 meters (12,140 ft) above sea level. You can walk to it, but be ready to climb stairs for about 1 hr
Although it is commonly referred to as a 'fortress', the early chroniclers were unanimous in their opinion that it was a temple and that it was a Royal House of the Sun
Sacsayhuamán is a mystery and was most likely built by the Inca Pachacutec in 15th century It is believed that more than 20 thousand men extracted the stones from the nearby quarries and moved it 20 kilometers to the hill of the city of Cusco.
Today, it is estimated that Sacsayhuaman retains only 40 percent of its old structure. Even so, the site has structures of up to 125 tons of weight.
While at the ruins, we also visited the Cristo Blanco is a large statue of Jesus Christ that can be seen across the city. Towering some 8 meters (26 feet) high the white structure was a gift from Arabic Palestinians who sought refuge in Cusco after World War II.

Incredible UFO Sightings Cusco Peru - Machu Picchu 10/22/2010 not 2011
This incredible sighting was taken from a plane in flight from Lima Peru to Cusco Peru en route to Machu Picchu Peru. This footage has been taken and mislabeled by others. This is the true footage of this event.
Cusco, Peru
Recorded March 4, 2009.
Cusco (also spelled Cuzco) is a city in southeastern Peru, near the Urubamba Valley (Sacred Valley) of the Andes mountain range. It is the capital of the Cusco Region as well as the Cusco Province. The city has a population of 348,935 which is triple the figure of 20 years ago. Located on the eastern end of the Knot of Cusco, its altitude is around 11,000 feet. Cusco is the historic capital of the Inca Empire and was declared a World Heritage Site in 1983 by UNESCO. It is a major tourist destination and receives almost a million visitors a year. It is designated as the Historical Capital of Peru by the Constitution of Peru.
The video begins at my hotel, the Libertador, and then continues directly across the street at the Coricancha (' Temple of the Sun') which was the most important temple in the Inca Empire. We then visit Sacsayhuamán, an Inca walled complex. These ruins are at an altitude of 12,142 feet. While at the ruins we are able to view several llama grazing in the area. We then descend back into the city and visit the Cathedral of Cusco on the Plaza de Armas.

Things That SHOCKED US About Cusco, Peru
We traveled to Cusco, Peru for the first time and this charming mountain city surprised us in SO many ways!
►Our Recommended VPN:
No matter what new city we visit in the world, we try to keep our minds open to new and unexpected experiences. We actually really enjoy being shocked and surprised each time we visit a new place. There are aspects of the culture, food, landscape, people, language, etc. that we just can't foresee, despite all the research we might do. That's the beauty of travel and we embrace it wholeheartedly!
So what exactly shocked us about CUSCO, PERU? For starters, we’re currently living at sea level in Puerto Morelos, Mexico, so traveling to the high-altitude city of Cusco was a real shock to our bodies. We got out of our taxi, took just a few steps up the stairs, and were completely out of breath. It was crazy! 11,200 ft. of altitude does wild things to the body as we quickly learned.
This is the altitude preparation powder stuff we mention in this video:
What else shocked or surprised us about Cusco? To name a few: the adorable Alpacas wandering around Cusco; the endless scenic photo ops; and how common it is to consume the coca plant. (We mention the rest in this video!)
This was our second time visiting Peru in 2019. Check out the rest of our Peru videos with this playlist:

15 Things to do in Cusco Travel Guide
Many travelers to Cusco use the city as a launching pad to hike the Inca trail, visit Machu Picchu and/or explore the Sacred Valley. With so many travel options just outside of the city it is easy to forget that Cuzco has a lot to offer in and of itself. The following Cusco travel guide is our attempt to showcase what the city has to offer in terms of attractions, things to do, shopping, dining, museums and nightlife. In our opinion, you'll want to budget several days to take it all in and acclimatize to the higher altitude if you're thinking of going on hiking excursions afterwards.
Our visit Cusco travel guide covers some of the top attractions including the best in arts, entertainment, museums, nightlife and restaurants. We also cover off-the-beaten-path activities that you won't find in your typical tourism brochure or Cusco city guide.
1) Cusco Cathedral (Viracocha) - Cathedral Basilica of the Assumption of the Virgin (Iglesia de la Compania de Jesus)
2) Inca Wall
3) Traditional Peruvian Folk Dance at Centro Qosqo
4) Barrio de San Blas Neighborhood
5) Artisan Market on Ave del Sol
6) Cusco Food (Alpaca meat skewers - alpaca a la parrilla
7) Pisco Museum (Museo del Pisco)
8) Plaza de Armas (Square of the warrior)
9) Inca Museum (Museo Inka)
10) Chocolate Museum (ChocoMuseo)
11) Temple of the Sun (Qurikancha)
12) Templo de la Compañía de Jesús (Jesuit Church)
13) Cuy - eating Guinea pig for dinner
14) El Templo de la Merced del Cusco
15) Nightlife in Cusco - drinking a pisco sour
Alternate Cuzco/Cusco spelling: (Quechua: Qusqu or Qosqo)
15 Things to do in Cusco, Peru | Top Attractions Travel Guide:
If you're planning to walk the Inca Trail or visit Machu Picchu, you'll likely end up spending at least a few days in Cuzco. With it's lively square, quirky museums, artisans markets and traditional performances, this is exactly the type of destination you'll want to linger in...plus let's not forget, it's also a good place to adjust to the altitude! The following video will showcase 15 things to do in Cuzco:
Cuzco Cathedral is a place you shouldn't miss. The cathedral sits on the site of Viracocha Inca’s palace, and it was also built using blocks from the nearby Inca site of Sacsaywamán. Inside you'll find impressive works of art done in the cuzqueña style.
In the evenings, you can go watch a traditional dance performance at Centro Qosqo.
San Blas
San Blas is one of the oldest neighbourhoods in Cuzco and it is a great area to explore on foot. The neighbourhood is known for its bright blue doors and window shutters, and it has a nice little square with a church and a water fountain. The neighbourhood has some really cool lookout points with great panoramic views of Cuzco, so you'll want to bring your camera.
Plaza de Armas is the beating heart of Cuzco. The square is flanked by a Jesuit church and cathedral, and there are also plenty of bars, restaurants, and tour agencies around the perimeter. During the day you'll find locals and tourists hanging out in the square, and if you get lucky, you might just encounter a performance followed by a demonstration like we did.
The Inca Museum is one of the main museums in town and it has rooms dedicated to different periods of Inca and Spanish history. You can also see women weaving rugs and tapestries by hand in the central courtyard.
Qurikancha was an Inca temple built to the Sun God, Inti, and it is believed that the walls of this temple were once covered in sheets of gold. If the temple looks like it has various layers of construction, that's because when the Spaniards arrived, they demolished the original temple and used the foundations to build the Church of Santo Domingo on the site.
The Church of the Society of Jesus is a historic Jesuit church. It's worth a quick visit if you're in the area.
Templo de la Merced is another church located one block from Plaza de Armas, and it contains the tomb of two famous conquistadors.
And that's a wrap for Cuzco! We hope you enjoyed this video and that it showed you a few of the places you can visit while you're in the city. We recommend spending at least 3 days here, or perhaps a few more if you also want to tour the Sacred Valley. As always, if you have any other suggestions of things to do in Cuzco, feel free to share those in the comments below.

7 Things To Do in Peru (That Aren't Machu Picchu)
7. Sandboarding and racing dune buggies in Huacachina
This hidden oasis provides ample opportunity for adrenaline-junkies and thrill seekers to explore. Just four hours south of Lima, travellers can begin their day by boarding down sand dunes or racing across the desert in dune buggies for a truly exhilarating experience.
6. Explore the Peruvian Amazon
Considered to be less popular than its Brazilian counterpart, the Peruvian Amazon is home to a diverse wildlife population and winding rivers that you need to visit while in Peru. To access the diverse jungle terrain, you can take a flight from the city of Puerto Maldonado with flights leaving daily from Cusco and Lima. And the good news? Tours through the Amazon on the Peru side are significantly cheaper – meaning you can save your dollars for a bonus round of pisco sours.
5. Go deep into Colca Canyon
When in Peru, make time to visit one of the deepest and most spectacular canyons in the world, the Colca Canyon. Accessible from Peru’s second largest city, Arequipa, the Colca Canyon is Peru’s third most-visited attraction yet many hikers seem to skip this impressive site. Don’t make the same mistake as those hikers and add a trip to the Colca Canyon to your itinerary. Also, if you’re still yet to be impressed, the Colca Canyon is actually twice as deep as the United States’ Grand Canyon. See for yourself how it compares.
4. Embrace the serenity of Lake Sandoval
Lake Sandoval is part of the Madre de Dios region of Peru, which is part of the Amazon basin. To reach this majestic site, you can start your hike near Mare de Dios River and marvel at the impressive wildlife including parrots, macaws and other exciting creatures. Once you arrive, you will be greeted by an unforgettable sunset.
3. Taste the mineral-rich salts of Maras
Just outside of Cusco you will find the town of Maras which is held in high esteem across the world for its impressive collection of salt mines that date back to the Inca times. Here, you will find thousands of salt pools that make up the hillside that build an intricate network of channels that feed spring water into the ponds. For a small fee, you can taste the warm water and sample some of the finest salt in the world. The mineral rich salt is great for cooking and is believed to help reduce stress.
2. Walk the streets of Arequipa
You’ve heard all about Cusco and Lima, but what do you really know about Arequipa? This city is filled with charming baroque architecture built from white volcanic stone. Surrounded by breathtaking volcanoes, Arequipa has well and truly earned its place as a UNESCO World Heritage destination.
1. Do as the Peruvians do in Huilloc
There’s a reason why we saved the best until the very end. To wrap up your time in Peru, there’s no better way to experience Peru than by immersing yourself in local culture. Make time for a visit to the Quechua village of Hilloc and learn more about the fine art weaving from the female villagers who have been perfecting the craft since a young age. Then, sit down for a pachamanca lunch where stones and grass are used to cook cuy (guinea pig), fava beans and potatoes using traditional cooking methods. The hospitality and generosity of the Quehchea villagers will leave you feeling humbled and grateful for the experience.

My first time visiting South America! Follow me on my travels across Peru and Ecuador! Our first stop was Lima and Cusco. Also my first time experiencing EXTREME altitude. Cusco is 11,000+ feet above sea level. So the air is very thin with reduced oxygen. Took a little time to adjust, but once we did, it was awesome to explore!
