I visited Cusco as part of my 2-week itinerary traveling through Peru<\/a>, and I loved the city for its striking mix of history and tourism. Walking through its cobblestone streets, you'll come across colonial churches, Inca temples, and at the same time, modern restaurants, bars, and tour agencies on every corner. It's a place that thrives on tourism, and that's evident in the constant flow of tourists from all over the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cusco was also my base for exploring the surrounding area, as most excursions to the Sacred Valley, Machu Picchu, and other archaeological sites depart from here. Still, the city itself has plenty to see and do, from museums and temples to markets and viewpoints. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Spending a few days in Cusco is not only necessary to acclimatize to the altitude, but also to enjoy everything it has to offer before embarking on the region's great adventures.<\/p>\n\n\n
