Additionally, Cusco offers exclusive access to the mighty Machu Picchu, making it an unmissable highlight of any trip to Peru.

Best Time To Travel

From the dry streets to the colorful outdoor festivals and temperate climate,
weather of just over 60 degrees, winter in Cusco is beautiful.

The season’s only caveat is its popularity, drawing crowds from all over the world, meaning travelers should book accommodations and tours at least three months in advance, particularly if those planning to travel between June and August.
To have the city to yourself, visit Cusco in the beginning of the winter, in May and June, as the city gets increasingly busy each month after May. More info

With on the ground experts proudly born and raised in Peru, the Kuoda team
knows the ins and outs of the country as locals, and the best way to
experience it as travel industry experts.

WHAT TO SEE AND DO

Stroll Through The City’s Historic Center Cusco’s historical center represents the fusion of Incan settlements and a modern-day South American metropolis that draws visitors from all over the world. Nowadays, Cusco has a visually striking hybrid of scenery where time is portrayed in overlapping layers of history and culture with a mix of Spanish, Andean, and international influences. For that reason, it was declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1983, with over 100 historical monuments. The authentic old town has maintained a great part of its pre-Columbian distribution due to the Incas' impressive knowledge of how to build their structures to be Earthquake proof. The main square; Plaza de Armas, is a lively place with plenty of restaurants and iconic buildings like the Cusco Cathedral.

WHERE TO EAT

Cicciolina One of the city’s top restaurants, Cicciolina offers Italian-style dishes with a Peruvian touches, such as quinoa-encrusted prawns and osso buco with pumpkin ravioli topped by local cheese and a touch of Andean mint. There’s plenty to choose from, including seafood, duck, beef, alpaca, chicken, and even a few vegetarian dishes, as well as perfectly done handmade pasta. You can pick from either the tapas or the full-restaurant menu in the bar area, but not the other way around, so you may want to go twice, as the tapas are popular options, too. A great wine list and yummy desserts finish out options in a quaint, charming venue.

WHERE TO STAY

Inkaterra La Casona Exploring the Peruvian Andes in high luxury style and in the most sustainable way is more attainable than ever before with a stay at Inkaterra La Casona, Cusco’s first boutique hotel built in the 16th Century - which is leading the way for sustainable travel in Peru.

Each suite is complete with heavy carved wooden doors, a stone fireplace, heated floors, and an extra large bathtub for travelers to soak and relax in. With its gorgeous colonial design and 16th-century furniture in each of the rooms - travelers will feel as if they’ve checked into a royal palace for their stay in the Sacred Valley.
