Curiosity and enigmas are words that permeate the thoughts of many travelers, but for those who want to know Cusco, they are essential factors. The city is Peru's main tourist destination and is proud to have been the capital of the incredible Inca empire; visiting it is sure to find an endless source of history and be enchanted by the genius of a unique people.

Worthy of all the fame it has, Cusco is a city to visit at least once in a lifetime. The place, 3400m above sea level, is a symbol of the heyday of the Inca empire and the mixing of Spanish culture with Andean culture - all this mixture could only result in good things: many different archaeological sites, magnificent human works and refined colonial architecture, the perfect combination for an unforgettable trip.

There are those who see the Inca capital only as a bridge to get to know Machu Picchu, a place wrongly labeled as for adventurers and backpackers; the good news is that this fame is lagging behind. It is true that Machu Picchu remains a success, but Cusco holds so many wonders that it is a waste to know it just in passing. The strategic location and good structure allow tourists to visit many other places in the region of Cusco and the Sacred Valley, enjoying good hotels and restaurants.

A tourist itinerary cannot miss visits to the Qoricancha, the city's giant Cathedral and its beautiful Plaza de Armas. Also include a tour of the incredible Saqsaywaman Park and see the full potential of the Incas up close, always with grandiose constructions. Walking through the charming alleys of Cusco, seeing colorful shops and feeling the effects of the altitude is part of the trip… , and enjoy a tasty and revitalizing meal.

After knowing the magnificent architectural feats of Incas and Spaniards, an omnipresent question hammers the mind: "How is this possible?". Feeling small in the midst of so much rusticity and knowledge makes you reflect and realize that it is enough to have creativity for true works to be built.

Cusco was the capital of the Inca empire and the place where one of the greatest known cultures reached its administrative, political and religious apogee. Traveling to this part of Peru is like being in front of one of the most incredible historical scenarios in the world. Whether in the traces of Inca or Spanish culture, the weight of having been the most important Andean city is reflected in the most varied ways.

Just take a short walk through the streets of Cusco to understand the historical heritage that the city preserves. The alleys made of stone, the colonial houses, the mathematically located square, the Cathedral and the archaeological site of Saqsaywaman are some of the most important tourist attractions in the place - they simply cannot be missed in a travel itinerary.

The attractions, however, are not limited to the city itself. The Incas occupied and built in different areas of the Andes, always looking for the best region to plant or study, for example. That's why there are several interesting places to visit that are far from the center of Cusco. In addition to Machu Picchu, Pisac, Moray and Ollantaytambo are incredible places to visit.

The tip for those who want to visit different archaeological sites is to buy one of the tourist tickets, which entitle you to enter different attractions at a lower price than tickets purchased separately.

Cusco has a great structure for tourists and, even though it has a reputation for being a destination for backpackers and solo travelers, it has a wide range of hotels for those looking for comfort. Forget the image of a place that has only rentals and hostels, the Inca capital has excellent quality hotels, with varying prices.

As for the location, you can't go wrong! The best area to stay in Cusco is close to Plaza de Armas, a central location with many tourist attractions, restaurants and shops. The city is the base for discovering several Peruvian archaeological sites and offers accommodation for all budgets - from hostels to boutique hotels. Novotel and Tierra Viva are interesting accommodation options, with comfort and good location.

An interesting curiosity is that nowadays several hotels work in houses built during the colonial period. Not infrequently you will have the chance to stay in an incredible architectural complex and feel the strong presence of the city's history without having to leave your hotel.

June, July and August are busy months in the city; therefore, those planning to travel at this time should be careful to choose a hotel in advance.

Have fun!
