Cusco was once the capital of the Inca Empire, so expect historic sites and attractions wherever you turn. Today, the city is a treasure trove of archaeological wonders, with Inca ruins and settlements standing alongside some of the best preserved examples of Spanish colonial engineering. Located not far from the Andes, Cusco also offers plenty of outdoor adventures for those who want to venture out and experience the Peruvian landscape completely. Whatever the reason for your trip, there's always something to keep you entertained. Popular with travellers from all works of life, there's an endless list of things to do, from simple sightseeing to exciting outdoor adventures and excursions.
If it's your first trip to this city, start your journey at Plaza de Armas. This historic square in the heart of town boasts plenty of stunning architecture, and stands as a great starting point before you venture off to explore the rest of the area.
Although it might seem quite quaint and traditional, the high influx of tourists means that the city is a nightlife hotspot. You'll find plenty of bars and clubs open every day of the week, with much of the action centred around the main plaza.
Whether you're backpacking around Peru, or enjoying a five-star stay, make sure you take some time to savour the local tastes and delicacies. You'll find plenty to whet your appetite with a range of affordable restaurants and eateries to accommodate all budgets. Try out the local delicacies like a steaming dish of Adobo, a pork stew made with corn beer (chicha). It is particularly consumed for New Years Day in hopes for good luck in the coming year since the pig symbolizes abundance.
There's plenty of ancient history to explore in this region and no visit to this Peruvian hotspot is complete with a trip to some local ruins. Some of the best include the Sacred Valley, Saksaywaman complex and the round terraces of Moray.
There's no better way to take in the sights of Cusco than by trail. You'll need a good pair of hiking boots and plenty of stamina, but the local Inca trails are without doubt one of the best ways to uncover the breath-taking beauty of the highlands.
If you've left your holiday planning until late in the day, a sightseeing tour is a great way of ensuring you make the most of your time in Peru. Perfect if you're short on time and want to cram as much as possible into your stay in the city.
