At the center of the world, the capital of the Inca Empire whose expansion in the 15th century was an amazing feat worthy of respect, Cuzco is a city steeped in history. I have seen European ruins, but I am still amazed by this magic of mankind, its creativity and imagination that can yet still be improved. However, Peru is mostly an opportunity to glimpse some mysteries which will likely remain mysteries forever, reminding us who we are. Our imagination is our best ally against questions. It...
