Cusco & the Sacred Valley
Inca capital, sunny plazas, market days
Trip highlights
- Plaza de Armas & San Blas
- Pisac & Chinchero markets
- Maras salt pans
- Sacsayhuamán fortress
The beating heart of the Inca world is a happy, walkable city of red roofs, sunny squares and the best ceviche-meets-mountain food you will ever eat. Below it, the Sacred Valley rolls out green and golden.
Cusco mixes Inca walls with colonial balconies, artisan markets with rooftop cafés. Wander cobbled San Blas, sip an emoliente in the Plaza de Armas, and watch the city light up at dusk.
Drop into the Sacred Valley for the salt terraces of Maras, the circular farms of Moray, and the lively market town of Pisac — all framed by snow-dusted peaks and the warmest welcomes around.
