Cuzco (Cusco), the capital of the Incas civilization, is located at 11,200 ft. above sea level in the Andes
Mountains in Southern Peru. According to Inca legend, the city was founded in
the 12th century by the first Inca named Manco Capac, who was said to be the son
of the sun. Archeologists believe the city was originally settled earlier by the
Wari people, perhaps as long ago as the 8th century.
