Cusco is a city in southeastern Perú, near the Urubamba Valley (Sacred Valley) of the Andes mountain range. It is the capital of the Cusco Region as well as the Cusco Province. The city has a population of 401,126 which is triple the figure of 20 years ago. Located on the eastern end of the Knot of Cusco, its altitude is around 3,300 m (10,800 ft). Cusco is the historic capital of the Inca Empire, and was famous for its golden palace, Coricancha, possible contributing source to the El Dorado legend.Cusco was the capital of the Inca Empire (1200s-1532). Many believe that the city was planned to be shaped like a puma. After Pachacuti, when an Inca died his title went to one son and his property was given to a corporation controlled by his other relatives (a process called split inheritance), so each title holder had to build a new house and add new lands to the empire, in order to own the land his family needed to maintain after his death.
