we were in Cusco for a total of about 4 days. tow before hiking on the Salkantay trail and 2 after. The city is a lovely place to walk and explore, and we barely brushed the surface. There are many good restaurants, lots of churches and museums to visit, multiple markets (or Mercados) and the multiple vibrant town squares. My only caution would be to consider the altitude and not plan to do too much over a short period of time especially if one has not been at a high altitude for a few days. even at the end of our stay I had to catch my breath regularly after walking uphill (I am 67).

Beautiful Area! The downside is all the people who approach you trying to sell goods and services. They are friendly, but very persistent.

A building that shows the fusion between both worlds, Inca and colonial architecture... a square full of life, a place of architectural encounters. A good place if you are in the city of Cusco.

When visiting Cusco you have to grab some of the history, especially with it having so much of it. You can feel the power from the flowers from the Inca stone walls. So going to the short and suite museum is a great history lesson tho there is infinite information that is needed. Decent price, great exhibit and just something to do when in the plaza of Cusco

I did a quick walk in the area to see as much as I could the afternoon I flew in. Then exhaustion hit. I sat here on a bench and enjoyed the people, the buildings, the smells of food and the sound of a different language. It was a peaceful way to spend time acclimating to the high altitude.

Around the city center, not to miss the visit to the Cathedral and Merced Church. Good restaurants.
It is a safe, family oriented square. Maybe too many promoters (for tours, massages, restaurants) but they don’t insist (!)

Olá!! Alguém pode me dizer quanto sai em média contratar um guia privado para fazer um tour por Cusco? Seja para a cidade ou Vale. Caso compre o boleto turÃstico é melhor contratar um guia ou ir por conta própria? Tenho receio de não saber as rotas para visitar o Vale Sagrado. Desde já agradeço!

Em Cuzco existem diversas agências que oferecem o serviço de van,porém sugiro que compre com antecedência o bilhete do trem pq esgota rapidamente, dependendo da época em que for viajar.quanto aos passeios, que são vários e todos interessantes,tb acho melhor contratar um agência local pq a maioria requer transporte e se for por conta vai perder muito tempo.
Hola, estoy planeando mi viaje a Cusco y por supuesto a Machu picchu para aprox el 15 de marzo del 2019, q tal es el clima en esas semanas? Hay muchas lluvias o es un poco despejado? Y con cuantas dias de anticipacion deberia de comprar mi pasaje para el tren local? Porfavor seria de gran ayuda alguna respuesta ya que quisiera hacer las reservas desde ahora.... Gracias

Estimada Sol, lo mejor que puedes hacer es consultar con anticipación a una agencia sobre las actividades turÃsticas en esas fechas, son ellas las que te van a dar la información cierta, de todas maneras voy a tratar de conseguirte mayor información y si la consigo te la comento luego, saludos

En general no se reportaron accidentes en carretera. La seguridad vial y policial es muy buena, especialmente en Cusco. En todo caso, las carreteras de la zona son muy angostas y con mucha cuesta y curvas, los que la hacen especialmente peligriosas, por lo que hay que tener mucho cuidado si eres tu el que maneja.

Hola, Cómo estás? , Cusco es precioso y mágico. Te recomiendo un dÃa visitando la ciudad, caminala y dusfruta. Venden un boleto turÃstico vin cada una de las ruinas Incas para visitar. Nosotros alquilamos un auto y resultó más económico que pagar planes con empresas de turismo. El boleto es una excelente guÃa para planear tus visitas. Los paisajes son muy bellos.
Para ir a MachuPichu, nosotros fuimos en el carro hasta Urubamba.Nos hospedamos en el Tambo del Inca. De ahà sale el tren. Tal ves un recorrido de 2 horas y 30 -minutos. Y nos hospedamos una noche allà (Sumaq) Para el siguiente dÃa conocer MachuPichu. Viajamos con Niños.😊

Hello all, we are going to Peru in June. Any tips for our trip to Cusco would be appreciated. How much time should I allow for Cusco? How about Machu Picchu? What time did you leave and how much time did you spend there? I assume you came back the same day to Cusco? Sorry for all the questions but I have never done anything like this before and I am a little clueless.
Thanks,
Barry

Hi! We landed in Cusco and immediately left to go to the Sacred Valley. This helps to acclimate to the high altitude. We were there for two days and then went to Macchu Picchu for two days. We then returned to Cusco for two more days. We made our arrangements through Avanti Tours in the US which then subcontracted with Condor Tours. They had EXCELLENT guides and services. We loved our hotels--the Casa Andina in the Sacred Valley was very nice and even had a planetarium on the grounds! Then we also enjoyed the Inkaterra Pueblo Hotel in Aguas Caliente--the town at the base of Macchu Picchu. In Cusco we stayed at another nice hotel, the Aranwa Boutique Hotel. Condor arranged for our train to Macchu Picchu, our various tours and guides and travel within Peru. We also got our entrance passes and hiking passes for Huyana Picchu in this same manner. Have a great time! It is a trip of a lifetime!
