Cusco: What to see in the surroundings?
What our travelers think about their stay
Cuzco is an amazing town! For tourists fascinated by Inca history, Cuzco, the former Inca capital, is a must-see that has been classified a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
My suggestion
Cuzco is the perfect place for stocking up on supplies. If you're going on a trek, you can buy warm clothes, walking sticks, windbreakers and so on. All for a reasonable price too.
Cusco, a typical stopping point, unmissable during your holiday in Peru. In the midst of the Andean mountains, this ancient Inca city is the gateway to the famous Machu Picchu.
My suggestion
The town is at an altitude of 3400 m, about 12,000 ft, so it takes time to adapt, especially if you have come directly from Lima. Don't panic, it doesn't take long!
Cusco is a magnificent town which has earned its Inca nickname "the bellybutton of the world".
My suggestion
Stay in the town and use it as a base to discover the surroundings. Lots of excursions leave here for day trips in the region.
