Incentives
With Cusco being a popular Incentive destination, naturally it has many luxurious five-star hotels and impeccable boutique lodging establishments: from renovated ancient monasteries to converted Inca palaces and exquisite 300-year-old mansions, complete with heated swimming pools and beauty treatments based on age-old techniques. Due to the city having been founded in 1535, most visitors notice the antique feel to the city. Cusco has a long and fascinating history and there are plenty of museums and preserved 16th Century buildings to prove it. The city sits at the foot of Macchu Piccu, a mountain that holds a ruin of an Inca citadel at its peak, a highly popular site to visit for incentives.
