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.
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 pachamanca (earth oven) meal, try your hand at weaving or take part in a Pachamama (Mother Earth) blessing ceremony to experience ancestral traditions.
Visit a restaurant making a difference
AMA restaurant supports single mothers in the Sacred Valley by offering training and job opportunities – without sacrificing time with their children. You might even see or hear the kids playing out the back. Listen to the stories about the women who work here, learn what inspired the owner and, of course, enjoy some delicious local food.
Uncover the history 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 and exploring the massive stone blocks of the Inca Sacsayhuaman fortress. Refuel with artisanal treats at the ChocoMuseo, then head to a rooftop bar and people-watch with a Pisco sour.
