We booked a tour of Cusco city and Machu Picchu with Peru Spirit Adventure. They were amazing to work with and I highly recommend booking tours with them!
Make sure you bring layers of clothes because the temperature changes quite a bit depending on where exactly you are.
People watching, any hilltop looking into the city, and the Cusco Cathedral.
Cusco is absolutely amazing, however you do need to be on your toes. My youngest was 10 years old and he understood the need to be aware of his surroundings and to stay close.
Florencia y Fortunata Café! Women owned and operated coffee shop with a beautiful vibe. Great place to start the day.
If you have a full day to spare, book a tour for Macchu Picchu. It’s quite the journey to get there, but well worth it!
Pack your walking shoes and get lost in the streets! The beauty is unmatched.
Inka Grill- it has traditional Peruvian flavors and a great atmosphere
The sacred valley tour to see Maras and Moray were incredible and so informative. Additionally, I loved simply walking the streets near the Plaza de Armas to take in the beauty of the city.
1- Give yourself a full day just to enjoy this city without tours booked. It’s a city worth exploring, and you will want a rest day if you have day after day of tours planned. 2- Hire a photographer! This city is a beautiful backdrop for your photos. I can’t wait to hang these pictures on my walls.

Go high and sleep low. Fly into Cusco and then immediately descend and stay somewhere at lower altitude like the sacred valley. Give your body time to acclimatize to the high altitude.

I actually received a tattoo while I was here in Cusco. The tattoo parlor was called Cusco Ink and it was a great little shop and I highly recommend them if anyone wants a tattoo done in Peru.
