If you've ever dreamed of a destination that combines history, culture, breathtaking scenery and a unique Inca legacy, Cusco is the place for you. Known as the historic capital of Peru, this city and its surroundings are home to some of the most spectacular sites that any traveler should visit at least once in their lifetime. Today we present the five most impressive destinations in Cusco that you can't miss, so get ready to be amazed!
It is impossible not to talk about Cusco without mentioning Machu Picchu, one of the 7 Wonders of the Modern World. This Inca citadel hidden between the mountains and the jungle, will transport you to a world full of mysticism and history.
Also known as Vinicunca, this wonder has become a must for lovers of trekking and unique landscapes. Its vibrant colors, formed by minerals in the earth, look like something out of a painting.
The Sacred Valley of the Incas is a unique destination in the world, where the majesty of the Andes meets the cultural legacy of one of the most fascinating civilizations in history. Every corner of this valley holds history, innovation and dreamlike landscapes that will transport you to the heart of the Inca Empire.
Known for its impressive archaeological park, Pisac combines terraces, canals and a pre-Columbian cemetery that will connect you with the rituals and beliefs of the time. In addition, the handicrafts market invites you to take a little piece of its essence.
Did you know that the Incas were masters of agriculture? Moray is the perfect example. Its circular terraces are not only a visual wonder, but were also an agricultural laboratory where they experimented with microclimates to perfect their crops.
An architectural jewel that combines the military, religious and urban. It is the only Inca city inhabited until today, with houses and temples that will leave you amazed by its design and precision in the carving of stones.
This charming town was once home to Inca nobility and now preserves the perfect blend of history and tradition. Its palaces, terraces and a colonial church over Inca ruins tell stories of resistance and adaptation.
A few minutes from the center of Cusco, this impressive Inca fortress will leave you speechless. Its huge, perfectly fitted stones, some weighing up to 120 tons, demonstrate the skill and knowledge of the Incas in architecture and engineering.
The Qorikancha, known as the Temple of the Sun, was the most important religious center of the Inca empire. Today, it combines the grandeur of Inca architecture with the Spanish colonial legacy, since the Santo Domingo Convent was built on its foundations.
