Cusco Tours
Browse our tailor-made Cusco tours, full of history and Inca heritage. Cusco, once the capital of the Inca Empire and gateway to Machu Picchu, is a popular Peru tour destination. Some of the best things to do in Cusco are to explore the city’s lively street markets, historic buildings, and charming restaurants. We recommend staying at least a couple of nights here, in the former capital of the Inca Empire. Machu Picchu tours from Cusco are easy to arrange and make for the ultimate Peru travel package. Be sure not to miss the Sacred Valley, a great place to acclimatize and avoid altitude sickness. All of our tours of Cusco can be customized to fit your travel style, preferences, and needs.

Things to Do in Cusco
There are plenty of things to do in Cusco. If you spend a day or two in Cusco during your vacation to Peru, you should also visit the surrounding ruins near the city: Sacsayhuaman, Tambomachay, and Qenqo to learn more about the past cultures. You can visit these ruins in an afternoon, and enjoy vistas of Cusco from above.
If you have a sense of adventure, you could also try a mountain biking tour of the surrounding Cusco area. Or just relax in town, shopping in the many stores selling distinctive Peruvian handmade goods, or enjoying the sidewalk cafes, pubs, and rather interesting nightlife.
From Cusco take a scenic train ride across the Sacred Valley to Machu Picchu, or hike through the Sacred Valley along the Inca Trail. Travel also to Puno and Lake Titicaca to enjoy the beautiful view of the Andes from the comfort of a scenic train.
