The Navel of the World

With its pink cityscape surrounded by vertiginous emerald peaks that underscore the multicoloured traditional dress of its inhabitants, Cusco will leave you breathless with its authenticity and flair.

This sublime “navel of the wold” (“cusco” being the Quechuan word for belly button) is the land of the Sons of the Sun, where the direct descendants of the Incas have preserved afiercely independent local culture, immersed in the Andes’ mesmerizing nature.

“According to an expert, meaning a Peruvian friend of mine, it’s impressive how well Antik Batik’s collections go with this country’s sunlight. It’s true that our lookbook images are just as at home with the local dress code: the people of the Altiplano are known for their clothes’ bright colours, like fuchsia.”

Cusco is an extremely touristic place that sometimes feels a lot like Kathmandu, with its folksy, bohemian atmosphere.
