Walk the Sacred Streets of Cusco.
Once the capital of the Inca Empire, Cusco is a living museum where Inca stonework forms the foundation for Spanish colonial architecture. Acclimate to the altitude while exploring the Qorikancha temple, the massive fortress of Sacsayhuamán, and the vibrant San Pedro Market.
This city is the essential starting point for the journey to Machu Picchu, but it’s also a destination rich in its own right. Immerse yourself in local festivals, shop for alpaca textiles, and savor Andean cuisine like cuy (guinea pig) and chicha corn beer.
