The Region of Cusco was chosen by the first Inca kings to be the capital of their empire; however, this region was also claimed by other civilizations (before or at the sorne time) . For instance, the Wari people conquered Cusco a few hundred years before the Incas settled in the region, while the Chanca people cohabitated in the region with the Incas until the Incas defeated them on the battlefield. Remains of these civilizations and many others before them can be found all over Cusco. Exploring these sites is an incredible experience.
Below is a list of the most important Pre-Inca and Inca sites in the Region of Cusco.
