Hello, I am Dany Quirquihuaña Aymara, I have been a guide for more than 10 years and I like to teach and show the puma city on foot, since I believe that there should be no other city more important and majestic than the llaqta del Qosqo (city of Cusco) in South America, in Inca times. Let me show you this city in a different and fun way.
