Plaza Mayor de Cusco, also known as the Plaza de Armas of Cusco, serves as the historical and cultural heart of the city. It is surrounded by stunning colonial architecture, with the imposing Cusco Cathedral and the Church of La Compañía framing the square. The plaza sits on the site of the former Inca Empire's center, reflecting a fusion of Incan and Spanish influences. For photo-travelers, capture the vibrant street life and consider visiting during local festivals for colorful traditional costumes and lively celebrations. The altitude is over 3,300 meters (10,800 feet), so be prepared for clear skies which make for excellent lighting conditions at sunrise and sunset. Be sure to explore the nearby cobblestone streets for additional picturesque scenes.
