In the belly button



Cusco, or Qosoq means belly button in Quechua (the language family spoken primarily by indigenous people in the Andes of South America).  What is now the city of Cusco was once the centre of the Inca Empire, hence the name.  Ryan and I spent a couple of days here on our way to Machu Picchu.  I loved Cusco, and plan on returning soon!
