Cusco is probably still the best brand of Peru. Once upon a time this Inca's city and in last 30 years the World Heritage Site, Cusco is the most popular destination for tourists of all interests. Located in the Sacred Valley, with altitude of 3,300 m, it hides layers of history and cultural influences started with Incas, redesigned by Spanish colonizers and many severe earthquakes Cusco is today a growing modern location where tradition and tourism go hand in hand.

There are many tourist agencies that offer pre-made and custom possible tours of Cusco and the area. Taking one of them is the best one can do since exploring the province and all what Cusco has to offer can take months (which is great if you have that time!) The city of Cusco itself is a cradle of many attractions and journeys through time: museums, temples (never to miss Koricancha - the famous temple of the sun), various archeological sites.

Sacred Valley is another site to explore, starting with the colorful market and spreading for another 30-plus kilometers, including narrow-street old Ollantaytambo with its channels untouched from Inca's time.

Cusco travel means a must MachuPicchu trip. Some four hours away from Cusco by train, this adventure destination is one of the most popular in the world. But once at spot, you can check with local agencies and find an offer that suits you the best. It could be an exhausting tour. Checking the Inca Trails tour is something everybody would suggest - it is really a way to "peak" in a way of life of some other civilization.

Staying in Cusco is pleasant experience as well. Hotels and it amenities can fulfill everybody's needs and requirements - from fancy accommodations with personal service to traditional, family home-alike hotels - you can find something that will fit your budget. And it's all just in the center of old civilization that boosts our imagination endlessly.
