The guide is divided in three main sections: The Inca period, The colonial period and Visiting Cuzco, including four different walking itineraries, which, in the light of the preceding information, become alive and meaningful.Vega, Manuel Jesus Aparicio is the author of 'Cuzco : The Inca Capital', published 2002 under ISBN 9789231038068 and ISBN 9231038060.
