Cusco, the former capital of the Incan Empire, with its narrow cobbled streets and noisy bars and clubs, is the backpacker capital of South America. Though there is far more to this Andean nation, such as the Nazca Lines, Lake Titicaca and the Colca Canyon, it is Machu Picchu that draws the masses. So much so that limits have been placed on the numbers that can hike the arduous Inca Trail and alternative Incan ruins are promoted by the government and responsible tour companies. However, until Machu Picchu falls off its perch, the lofty and mysterious city is likely to remain the number one draw in the region.
