Cusco is a major tourist destination because it was once the capital of the Inca Empire. With its ancient architectural/archeological sights, suitable weather, bargain services, kind hearted people, and it being the central point for all Sacred Valley excursions you are bound to find something that you like. A perfect place to spend a few weeks – or even months – and study Spanish!

With it being the central point of tourism in Peru there are plenty of people to meet to make your adventure worthwhile. You can hike or bike Inca trail to get to Machu Picchu or the less tourist populated places like Choquequirao and Moray; all accessible by way of Cusco.

With its classy streets and beautiful plaza’s must visit places would be: various shops, boutiques, and restaurants on San Blas and San Fransisco which are of walking distance near the main plaza “Plaza de Armas”, the museums, the Temple of the Sun, the cobble stoned Inca streets, the hearby ruins… And don´t forget about the Polleria’s (chicken stores / restaurants), and Chifa’s (Chinese food), they are really good as well. And for vegans and vegetarians, or those with strict diets there are plenty of places that attribute their services just for your specific taste. For a good time in the local night life and happy hour scenes good places to visit are: Jacks and Cafe Punchay on the street Choqechaka.Norton’s Pub, Real McCoy, Indigo, Km.0., Wachuma and 7 Angelitos. These places offer a variety of music, food , and drinks. Latin Rock, Reggae, Funk, R&B, Hip Hop, and Dance Hall. Sushi, Pizza’s, Tapas, Cuy, and your favorite beverages for reasonable prices.

Getting lost in this city is the best way to come across new and fun experiences.
