Cusco tours & holidays

How 'bout an adventure in the ancient Inca capital?

Cusco might be the gateway to the mother of all Inca ruins (yep, Machu Picchu), but this high-altitude city has plenty more to explore. After catching your breath, drop by San Pedro market to snack on ice cream beans, sip purple corn tea and maybe try Andean delicacies like cuy (guinea pig). Wander the maze of cobbled alleyways and historic squares, taking in the sights and sounds of daily life. Or head north to connect with Indigenous communities of the Sacred Valley.

Cusco highlights

Two travellers gazing at the view of Machu Picchu from a prime lookout

Trek or train it to Machu Picchu

Whether you hike the hard but oh-so-worth-it Inca Trail or take the train, that first glimpse of Machu Picchu is a moment you’ll never forget – and one you’ll want to take at least 387 photos of. Built in the 15th century, these well-preserved ruins continue to reveal secrets about the Inca Empire today.

Connect with Indigenous communities

The Sacred Valley is a living landscape of terraced hills and ancient market towns – but it's the people and their stories that stay with you. Travel to the Huilloc community to get a taste of life in the Andean highlands. Share a home-cooked guinea-pig lunch, join a Pachamama (Mother Earth) blessing ceremony and try your hand at traditional weaving.

Have lunch at AMA Restaurant

Visit a restaurant making a real difference for women in the Sacred Valley. AMA offers support, training and job opportunities for single mothers without sacrificing time with their children – you might see or hear the kids playing out the back. Listen to stories about the women who work here, learn what inspired the owner and, of course, enjoy some delicious local food.

Guide talking with travellers in the cathedral square of Cusco, Peru on a cloudy day

Wander the streets of Cusco

You can almost feel the history seeping from Cusco's cobblestone streets. With a local leader to guide you, spend your days strolling past historic mansions, exploring the massive stone blocks of the Inca Sacsayhuaman fortress or sampling artisanal chocolate at the ChocoMuseo. As dusk falls, pull up a chair in a lively plaza and people-watch with a Pisco sour in hand.
