About

Cusco serves as a gateway to the Andean highlands, where the surrounding mountains provide a stunning backdrop to the city’s rich history. Visitors can explore Sacsayhuamán, an ancient Inca archaeological site just above the city, where massive stone walls stand as a testament to the engineering prowess of the Incas. The steep slopes of this area offer an exhilarating hiking experience, with panoramic views that extend to the Sacred Valley. Just a short trek from Cusco, the trails lead to the picturesque village of Pisac, famous for its terraced landscapes and vibrant artisan market, where local crafts and fresh produce abound.
