Sicuani

Compact town in southern Peru's Cusco Region where the Urubamba River — a waterway central to the Inca Empire and earlier cultures — runs through the centre, with cafés and restaurants concentrated along a walkable core. The wider region holds several UNESCO World Heritage sites, and the surrounding Andean terrain sits close at hand.
