CUSCO ALWAYS A FASHIONABLE FAVOURITE

Posted on 2009-11-02

As South American cities go, Cusco has always been one of our favourites. Its small-town charm and big-city persona sit perfectly side by side and its location makes it the perfect place to start your exploration of Peru and the Andes.
Another thing that Cusco is renowned for is mixing old with new. Great colonnaded plazas in the Spanish settlement sit alongside ancient Incan fortifications. The city oozes contemporary chic but its auspicious history is never far away.
And the cosmopolitan Cusco successfully mixes up its history with modern-day culture as well.

At the end of the month, the city will host the Cusco Always in Fashion event which will thrust it centre stage in the global fashion stakes.
Young designers will descend on the city to mix pre-Columbian designs with cutting-edge fashion in the city’s marvellous Mercado Central de San Pedro.
So if you’re heading to Cusco before embarking on a tour of the Peruvian Andes and you want something sharp to wear before you hit the Inca Trail then now could be the time to book your ticket.
