CUSCO OVERVIEW
Once the capital of the mighty Inca Empire, Cusco (also spelled Cuzco) holds a unique charm that's hard to put into words. Exquisite churches, fantastic museums, and narrow cobbled streets in the historic center merit at least a few days’ worth of exploration. Add to that stunning Inca ruins both within the city and in the surrounding hills and you’ve got a recipe for travel magic.
Cusco is a place of stunning natural beauty, friendly locals, full of culture and history, and with endless opportunities for adventure & exploration. Cusco is also the gateway to the Sacred Valley of the Incas and the Inca citadel Machu Picchu! Whether you want to visit Cusco while you are travelling in Peru, or you’re looking for place where you can spend more time, Cusco and surroundings are the perfect destination.

This fascinating and historically-rich city is sure to be one of the most memorable places you’ve ever set foot in.
