Cusco is a busy but lovely city to visit
May 2022
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).

Interesting, Historic Neighborhood

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

Great place to acclimate
Nov 2021
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.

great atmosphere
Apr 2022
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 (!)
