Cusco has endless activities and attractions to explore and discover. It is for this reason that the Peruvian region was chosen as one of the 20 most popular destinations in the world in the election of the Travelers Choice Awards 2022.
There were 25 locations from all over the planet that were awarded this distinction, which places them on the radar of hundreds of thousands of users linked to travel and tourism. In this way, the Cusco region is positioned at the level of famous world destinations.
However, unlike the twenty locations around the planet, what makes Cusco so special is its varied offer of attractions, since the famous TripAdvisor portal —which provides content related to travel— points out that there are more than 2,000 activities to be carried out in the ‘Navel of the world’.
“Inca splendor and Andean baroque stand side by side in the stone streets of Cusco, represented by the Coricancha palace and the Santo Domingo church flanking the Plaza de Armas. In this melting pot of heights you will find extraordinary fabrics, lively summer festivals and archaeological wonders”, is how Cusco is described on the American website.
Activities in Cuzco
The expedition to the Historic Sanctuary of Machu Picchu is an unforgettable trip to do in Cusco. Here you will get to know the vestiges of this Inca citadel, which amazes its visitors for its beautiful landscapes, historical legacy and mysticism that is breathed in its territory.
This masterpiece of Inca architecture and engineering is considered a World Heritage Site by UNESCO, as well as being one of the seven wonders of the modern world.
There are also outdoor adventures, such as touring the Sacred Valley, where you will test your fitness in the Peruvian Andes while discovering countless archaeological attractions and charming towns along the way.
In addition to practicing trekking, you can visit the archaeological zone of Ollantaytambo, the community of Maras and its salt extraction activity, the archaeological site of Moray, the fortress of Sacsayhuamán or the original towns of Chinchero and Pisac.
The alternatives do not end there. Huayna Picchu, the Humantay Lagoon, the Huasao Wetlands, the Temple of the Moon or Tipón are other places that you can discover during your stay in this wonderful city.
