Cusco is the historic heart of the Andes and the former capital of the Inca empire, set high in the Peruvian mountains at around 3,400 metres. Its steep cobbled streets mix massive Inca stone walls with Spanish colonial churches and arcaded plazas, and its markets and workshops keep Andean culture vividly alive. For…

The world-famous Inca citadel set on a mountain ridge, reached by train and bus with a timed entry ticket. Book the ticket and transport well ahead, as daily numbers are limited.
A day among Inca ruins, terraces and market towns in the valley below Cusco, often visited on a tour or by shared transport. A good acclimatisation trip before Machu Picchu.
The old town of Inca walls, colonial churches and the main plaza, free to explore on foot. Wander slowly at altitude and enjoy the cafes, balconies and stonework.
A striking multi-coloured mountain high in the Andes, visited on a long, early-start day tour. The trail is at very high altitude, so acclimatise in Cusco first and go slowly.
The must-try local dishes, sweets and fruits — including the exotic ones you won't find back home.
A traditional Andean dish predating the Inca, usually roasted whole until the skin is crisp — one of the most talked-about novel foods travelers try in Cusco.
A lean, tender Andean meat often grilled simply on a hot volcanic stone — a distinctive regional specialty rarely found outside the Andes.
Skewers of marinated, grilled beef heart in a spiced aji sauce — an ancient Andean street-food classic that's far tastier than it sounds.
Peru's national cocktail: grape brandy shaken with lime juice, syrup and egg white into a frothy, tangy drink invented in Lima in the 1920s.
A non-alcoholic purple corn drink simmered with pineapple, cinnamon and cloves — sweet, fruity and served at nearly every restaurant in Peru.

असली किराए, सैलानी कीमतें नहीं।
Most visitors fly in from Lima or other Peruvian cities, which is by far the fastest way. Book ahead in high season and allow a rest day for the altitude on arrival.
Comfortable coaches link Cusco with other regions such as the south and the coast. Much cheaper than flying but far longer; overnight services save a day.
The airport is close to the centre, so the ride is short and cheap. Use the official taxi desk or a booking app and agree the fare to avoid overcharging on arrival.
Handy for the steep streets and after dark. Fares are low but there are no meters, so agree the price first or use an app, and prefer clearly marked taxis.
Shared minibuses and cars are the cheapest way to reach the Sacred Valley and outer districts. Basic and crowded but very economical; watch your belongings.
The historic core is compact and best seen on foot, though the hills feel harder at altitude. Take it slowly, especially in your first day or two.
The dry season from May to September brings sunny days and clear skies, ideal for Machu Picchu and mountain trails, though nights are cold and it is the busiest, priciest time. The wet season from November to March is greener and quieter but brings frequent afternoon rain and some trail closures.
Plan at least three to four days to acclimatise, see the Sacred Valley and visit Machu Picchu without rushing. Adding a rest day early on greatly reduces altitude problems.
Arrive slowly, rest on the first day, drink water and herbal tea, eat lightly and avoid heavy alcohol. Sleeping first in the lower Sacred Valley helps, and seek medical advice if you feel very unwell.
Most visitors take a train from the Sacred Valley to Aguas Calientes, then a short bus up to the site, with a timed entry ticket. Book the ticket, train and bus in advance, as places are limited.
Yes. Daily entry numbers are capped and popular dates and circuits sell out, so buy your entry ticket and train early through official channels rather than from street sellers.
The dry season from May to September offers the clearest weather for the mountains and ruins but is the busiest. The wetter months are quieter and greener, with more afternoon rain and the odd trail closure.
