SEASONS |
In the Quechua, the language of the native people of the Andes, Cusco means, “navel of the world”. From the hills just north of the city Cusco can be seen sprawling across the Huatanay River valley. It’s current population is between 350,000 and 400,000. This is about the same as it was when the Spaniards arrived in the 16th century. Anytime of the year is a good time to photograph the Cusco valley. |
