Cusco tours & holidays

The heart of the Andes

Cradled by the Andes, Cusco is the gateway to high-altitude treks and the legendary Machu Picchu. But there are plenty of reasons to linger a little longer. Catch your breath (no joke, it's way up at 3399 m), then wander San Pedro market to snack on ice cream beans, sip purple corn tea and maybe try local delicacies like cuy (guinea pig). Watch Inca history come alive as you explore the maze of alleyways and historic squares, or take a short ride north to connect with the Indigenous communities of the Sacred Valley. Then polish it all off with a Pisco sour at a rooftop bar.

Trek or train it to Machu Picchu

Whether you hike the hard but oh-so-worth-it Inca Trail or take the scenic train, nothing can prepare you for seeing this Inca citadel in the flesh. Built in the 15th century, historians are still puzzling over its exact purpose and the ruins continue to reveal secrets about the Inca Empire today.
