Captivating Cusco

For the past few days, I've been exploring the beautiful city of Cusco in Peru, which was once the capital of the Incan Empire. I've mostly been drawn to the Incan history, gorgeous views, and incredible architecture. Through these in-camera multiple exposures, I wanted to show the beauty of this city and the chaos in the marketplace during Christmas time, which is the peak time for tourism. Catholicism is also the main religion of Cusco and a huge part of the culture, so in almost every single one of these images, there is a Catholic reference (Jesus Christ, Cathedrals, etc.)

Many of these were taken today at a Christmas celebration in the main square, Plaza del Armas, which closed its roads for the next few days to open an enormous Christmas market and have many performances from musicians and children.
