Located in the heart of the Inca Sacred Valley, Cuzco is a colonial city that was founded by Francisco Pizarro in 1534. It is located 3,300 meters above sea level and is absolutely breath-taking!

¿La playa? Sorry...no water here. It's how you say "parking lot" in Perú.
I warned the kids about altitude sickness...but they go and over-do-it anyway!
Some of the group members gave me a birthday gift while we were in Cuzco...thanks guys! It's hanging in my classroom!
