Cusco Peru

Not so long ago, Cusco Peru was the bustling capital of the Inca empire, the birthplace of legends, mysticism, and sacred sites. Today, it’s still possible to get a glimpse into the Inca’s mysterious dynasty. The grand Imperial City is protectively, yet picturesquely nestled at great heights in the Andes Mountains and is said to resemble the shape of a Puma. There are so many unique things to do in Cusco in the form of culture, food, art, and worthwhile treks.

 

Until you visit Cuzco, you might not realise that many of its most famous attractions lie outside the city limits; this is why Cusco continues to be such a popular base for anyone travelling on the southern Peru route.

 

Majestic Incan ruins, rarely visited hiking routes, Instagram favourites, and wonderful insights into traditional communities are just some of the highlights that you can easily reach in just a couple of hours with public transport or a private tour from Cusco. The hardest part actually comes when deciding which ones to leave out of your Peru itinerary!
