Cuzco at 3,400 m (11,200 ft) is a city in southeastern Peru, near the Urubamba Valley of the Andes mountain range. It was the site of the historic capital of the Inca Empire and was declared a World Heritage Site in 1983 by UNESCO. Many believe that the city was planned as an effigy in the shape of a puma, a sacred animal. Too much to be said about Cusco that receives 2 million visitors per year!
One thing though, every Sunday sees a military/police parade at plaza de Las Armas. Are invited to join, schools, associations etc. whoever has something to celebrate. No need to say that it is colorful gathering.
