Highlights

There are countless archaeological sites that house Inca ruins and small Andean villages that keep alive the ancient traditions inherited from their ancestors. In this sense, here we highlight two tours that cannot be left out of your travel itinerary for Peru: the Moray Archaeological Site and the incredible Maras Salt Mines. These two places are located in the Sacred Valley of the Incas and can usually be visited in a single day. They are perfect examples of Inca wisdom and engineering, in addition to harmonizing with the exuberant nature of the region, making for a complete and interesting tour for any type of tourist.

About Cusco

Cusco, the old Inca capital high in the Peruvian Andes, blends massive stone walls with colonial churches and is the gateway to Machu Picchu.

The Plaza de Armas is the heart of the city, framed by the cathedral and the Jesuit church of La Compañía. Inca stonework survives throughout the centre, most famously at the Qorikancha, the sun temple on which the Spanish built a monastery, and in the twelve-angled stone on Hatun Rumiyoc street. San Blas, the artisans' quarter, climbs steeply with workshops and cafés.

Top-ranked sights in Cusco: Aguas Calientes, Machu Picchu, Ollantaytambo Ruins.
