Custom Cusco Tours & Inca Heritage Experiences
Cusco is best explored over several nights, allowing time to visit nearby archaeological sites, acclimatize to the altitude, and enjoy the surrounding region. Many travelers combine Cusco with guided Machu Picchu tours or spend time in the Sacred Valley, an ideal area for gradual acclimatization and cultural immersion. Every Cusco itinerary we design is fully customizable to match your interests, pace, and travel style.

Things to Do in Cusco
Cusco offers a wide range of cultural, historical, and outdoor experiences, making it well worth spending at least a few days here. Our Things to Do in Cusco guide highlights the city’s top attractions, from exploring historic neighborhoods and local markets to visiting nearby archaeological sites.
Just outside the city, impressive Incan ruins such as Sacsayhuamán, Tambomachay, and Qenqo provide insight into the region’s ancient past and offer panoramic views over Cusco. These sites can be easily visited in a half day and are often included in guided city tours.
For travelers seeking a more active experience, the surrounding countryside is ideal for outdoor adventures like hiking or mountain biking. Others may prefer to relax in the city, browsing artisan shops, enjoying Cusco’s cafés and restaurants, or experiencing its vibrant nightlife.
Cusco is also a natural base for onward travel. From here, journey by scenic train through the Sacred Valley to Machu Picchu, hike sections of the Inca Trail, or continue south toward Puno and Lake Titicaca for dramatic Andean landscapes.
