Incredible Hiking
Cusco is a great starting point for some of Peru's most impressive hikes
Uncover Peru’s history in the former Incan capital
Capital of the Incan Empire from the early 14th century until its Spanish conquest, Cusco is South America’s oldest continuously inhabited city, and the gateway to Peru’s Incan history, including the lost city of Machu Picchu.
There is an undoubtedly spiritual feel to Cucso’s narrow alleyways and historic buildings, and you’ll often be greeted by the scent of Andean herbs or the practices of shamans. The influence of the city’s Spanish conquistadors may be evident in its architecture, such as the imposing central cathedral, but Incan history still rules these lands.
You’ll encounter the colourful clothes of indigenous women at every turn, decorated llamas trailing after them, and numerous Incan ruins serve as a constant reminder of Cusco’s cultural significance. Customise your trip with personalised cultural tours to truly immerse yourself in the city’s spirit.
Luxury travel to Cusco is an essential part of any Peruvian tour, setting the scene perfectly for onward travel to the Sacred Valley and Machu Picchu. Our guides will unlock the experience of Cusco for you, not only explaining the history, but also the hidden secrets of today’s city, from interesting restaurants to local artisans’ workshops. It’s also an ideal base for hiking – nearby Vinicunca, also known as Rainbow Mountain, is one of Peru’s visual highlights.
