The city of Cusco Cusco is one of those rare places able to preserve its unique character despite its prominence in international tourism. Stately and historic, with stone streets and buildings that are built on Incan foundations laid down more than five centuries ago, the city buzzes with energy. Once the religious, political, military, and cultural centre of the Inca empire, today Cusco thrives as one of the most vibrant cities in South America. Peru is located in the west central part of South America, and is the 19th largest country in the world. It shares borders to the north with Ecuador, to the south with Chile and Bolivia, and to the east with Columbia and Brazil. Peru's geography, climates, and cultures are diverse due to the natural variation of its regions, which include the coast, the Andes, and the Amazon jungle. |

Our training centre is located in a modern office building – just 3 blocks from the historic Plaza de Armas, and just across the street from Q'oricancha (the Inca Temple of the Sun).
