Luxury Travel to Cusco
The former capital of the Inca Empire, Cusco (sometimes called Cuzco), has an indescribable appeal. The historic center’s beautiful cathedrals, museums, and cobblestone streets need a few days of exploring. With breathtaking Inca ruins in the city and highlands, travel enchantment is created.
Rainbow Mountain
Rainbow Mountain, or Vinicunca, is adorned with turquoise, crimson, and mustard sediments. After millions of years, the high Andes’ tectonic movements and strong wind erosion exposed these strata of hue, which indicate various mineral concentrations. The glacier atop the mountain melted owing to global warming.
Sacred Valley
The Río Urubamba Valley, also known as El Valle Sagrado (the Sacred Valley), is located 15km north of Cuzco via a tight road with hairpin twists. Colonial cities and remote weaving villages make this tranquil Andes region worth exploring. The marketplaces and Pisac and Ollantaytambo citadels are the main attractions, but there are many additional Inca sites. Its many trekking paths are rightly popular.

Best Time to Travel to Cusco
There are pros and cons to visiting Cusco each season.
- Cusco is particularly popular in the dry season. Sunlight and little rain are typical in the Andes, although attractions are crowded.
- Except for Easter Week, when many Peruvians vacation, the rainy season is a good time to visit Cusco because there are less tourists and congestion. It rains most in January and February, therefore travel delays are more usual.
- Temperate temperatures and less crowds are typical in April, May, September, and October.
Unique Experience in Cusco
The peculiar taste of Cusco makes it one of South America’s most interesting cities. The longest-inhabited city in the Americas has colonial and Incan architecture. Colonial houses often rest on Incan ruins.
Cusco is touristy but real. One woman in traditional attire heads to the market, while three try to get you to take a photo with them and their lovely llama for a few soles. Good cuisine and cappuccinos are still available despite mass tourism. This all happens in the Andes, the gateway to Machu Picchu and the Sacred Valley.
