Cusco was the political, religious and cultural heart of the Inca Empire, which made it a city of great strategic importance. From Cusco, the Incas planned their military campaigns to conquer new territories and ensured the control of their possessions. In addition, the city was the center of pilgrimage for thousands of people who came to pay homage to the Sun God in the qoricancha and to participate in important festivals and religious ceremonies. For the Incas, the founding of Cusco was a sacred and transcendental event. According to legend, the Sun God Inti chose the place where the capital of the empire was to be established. The city was designed in the shape of a puma, one of the sacred animals of the Incas, with the Plaza de Armas as the heart of the city and the Temple of the Sun, the famous qoricancha, as its main religious center.

The Sacred Valley of the Incas is an incomparably beautiful stretch of small villages and ancient ruins stretching along a broad plain and steep mountain slopes northwest of Cusco. The Sacred Valley is the main valley of Cusco, the capital of the Inca Empire.

The valley was of great value to the Incas because of its special geographical location and ideal climate. It was the best place for corn production in Peru, as well as a great source of natural wealth.
