Nestled high in the Peruvian Andes, the city of Cusco is a testament to the rich cultural heritage and fascinating history of the Inca civilization. At the heart of the city is the Plaza de Armas, a bustling plaza surrounded by colonial buildings, churches and the imposing Cathedral of Cusco. From here, narrow cobblestone streets wind through the historic center, leading to hidden courtyards, colorful markets and artisan workshops where traditional crafts are still practiced today.
Cusco is also famous for its archaeological wonders, such as the iconic ruins of Sacsayhuaman, Qenko and Tambomachay, located on the surrounding hillsides. But Cusco is more than just a living museum: it is a vibrant, dynamic city that pulses with energy day and night. Visitors can dive into the local culture by sampling traditional Peruvian dishes in bustling markets, participating in colorful festivals and parades, or simply soaking in the breathtaking panoramic views of the city and surrounding mountains from one of its many lookout points. Either exploring its ancient ruins, savoring its culinary delights or simply strolling through its charming streets, Cusco captivates the hearts and imaginations of everyone visiting it, offering a truly unforgettable experience in the heart of the Andes.

Travel destroys racism
Did you know that travel destroys racism? It is difficult to adapt suddenly to a country where everything is different. People speaking other languages, dress differently and practice perhaps quite bizarre customs. At times even if you find it difficult to accept it, you may end up falling in love with the traditions, and food. You may want to dress the same.
Tips & Travel Information About Cusco
If you are in Cusco and you wish to explore the city and its surroundings then this travel guide could help you plan your adventure around the city. Although many believe that the city of Cusco is small enough to get lost. It is really big and its streets are quite narrow. So it is good to know a little bit about the names of the streets. Especially, those where your hotel is located. Keep in mind that the city of Cusco is quite safe. It has security cameras throughout the city. There is a lot of police around which will make you feel even safer.
Explore Cusco from your hotel, the streets, the colorful houses, the typical dances, the traditions, the typical clothing and the people are the reason enough to visit this incredible city. Don’t miss Cusco and its amazing places that we will mention next. The city of Cusco in spite of being colonized in the years of 1533 for many does not stop being the capital of the Incas. We believe that after being destroyed by the Spaniards, it still keeps a historical value that is reflected its the people.
TRAVEL INFORMATION
Three kilometres from the city of Cusco there are enormous and important constructions. Those are from much earlier than the Inca period. In other words, they are monuments that have been there for more than 5000 years.
One of these places is the archaeological site of Sacsayhuaman. It dates back more than 5000 years. Its walls are still intact since even the Spanish could not destroy them.
Many believe that it was a fortress something like a military sector perhaps due to its enormous walls. Sacsayhuaman and its surrounding ruins of Qenko, Puka Pukara and Tambomachay are the nearest ruins to Cusco.
They are easily accessible by taxi, bus or even on foot from Cusco’s Plaza de Armas. Sacsayhuamán offers beautiful views of the city from the top of the surrounding mountains. A visit to this site is not something you will quickly forget. We suggest you add it to your list of places to visit in Cusco!
The neighbourhood of San Blas is a very colonial and picturesque place. A unique place that is worth visiting. A bit climb from the Cusco’s Plaza de Armas with lots of good restaurants, cafes as well small art exhibitions and craft shops. If you are in San Blas, we suggest you take a look at the attractive square and the oldest parish church in Cusco. It was built in 1563, without a doubt this place is a must-see..

Just a few minutes from the main square of Cusco is the street of Hatunrumiyoc. It is also known as the street with the big Stone. On this street there is a green diorite stone wall built long before the Incas and keeps one of the most famous pieces of Cusco. To this day, the twelve angled stone is quite visited by tourists. For local archaeologists, this stone would represent the months of the year according to the Inca calendar, or 12 important days. There is a lot of speculation about it but the truth is if you remove it, the whole wall could fall down. You can also visit it during your walking tour around the city.
The Qoricancha according to the Spanish chroniclers was one of the most impressive buildings in Cusco. It is believed its walls had been fully covered with gold sheets. It was the main temple where the Inca god, the Inti (Sun), was worshipped. The Incas could only enter the place by fasting, barefoot as it was a holy temple of worship. In the year 1950, a huge earthquake shook Cusco causing around 5000 deaths and almost 80% of the buildings built by the Spanish collapsed. The walls (Inca) were able to resist without any problem. Today the place has become quite popular for the kind of architecture that this temple displays making the tourists speechless. To visit this temple you have to buy an entrance ticket that costs 15 soles, you can visit the place from Monday to Saturday from 8 am to 5:30 pm.
