Cusco
Cusco is the titular city of this region, acting as an introduction to the surrounding areas. Set amongst the Andes, travelers come here to acclimatize to the altitude before setting off for Machu Picchu.
But Cusco is far more than a starting point; it’s a culmination of Peru’s poignant history, where empires clash and leave their mark on the Spanish/Incan architecture, cobbled streets and luxury heritage properties. Wander through the museums, burgeoning foodie scene and historical palaces that make up this city on your personalized tour of Peru.
