Cuzco_The_Imperial_City

Cuzco The Imperial City CUZCO, THE IMPERIAL CITY It was almost six o’clock in the morning and the flight attendant was trying to make everybody feel comfortable. Even without knowing each other, all of us traveled in silence thinking of our own plans and concerns. Suddenly we heard a noise, a clash that surprised us. It was the pilot announcing our arrival to Cuzco, the capital of the famous Incan Empire. Cuzco is well known because of its buildings, its parks, and monuments, which show us its puzzling and glorious history as one of the most important cultures in America. The moment I stepped out of the plane I began to feel a different atmosphere, the surroundings were full of the Inca’s works; small crafts, frames and vases introduce your body and mind to a millenary culture, as if you suddenly could go back in time and not only your lungs, but also your skin and soul could breathe the empire’s environment. When I reached the luggage hall I heard folk music, full of sentiment and passion, sung by a folk group. I felt a lump in my throat, and my heart beat in rhythm way with the music.
