Cuzco travel, tours and Vacations.

A short guide about Cuzco

When visiting most of the highlights of Peru you’ll find that they are contained within the steep terrain of Cuzco – which combines the fertile inter-Andean valleys with impressive mountains that descend to the rim of the jungle. The city of Cuzco itself is the ancient capital of the Incan Empire – and was placed on the World Cultural Heritage List by UNESCO in 1983, and is without a doubt one of the most important destinations in Peru.

The Incan buildings are waiting for you to discover them among its cobble-stoned streets; here you can tour the palace of Inca Roca, as well as Andean Baroque structures from the Colonial Period; like the Cathedral and the Church of the Company of Christ.

Visit the picturesque neighbourhood of San Blas; where the best artisans have set up their workshops, and here you’ll find an exciting nightlife with cafes, restaurants, and bars for all tastes. Just ten minutes away you can visit the massive walls of the Sacsayhuaman Fortress, and a few kilometers from there, you’ll find the archaeological sites of Qenko, Pukapukara, and Tambomachay – whose Incan buildings are constructed completely with stone.

There are also the towns of Pisac, Maras, Chinchero, and Ollantaytambo, which are spread throughout the Sacred Valley of the Incas, one hour from Cuzco. From there, it is possible to catch the train to Machu Picchu. Another way of getting to the citadel is by following the Inca Trail, a spectacular network of pathways that snake their way among the snow covered mountains, rivers, and overwhelming countryside, and through the Sacred Valley.
