We recently attended this fantastic show and all left with smiles on our faces - contemporary yet with historical elements, with spectacular costumes, vibrant Peruvian music and thrilling dance, Kusikay is without a doubt the best quality performance in Cusco! Highly recommended as a way of understanding the power and importance of the Apus to the local people, done in a dramatic and exciting way!
