Tucked high in the Peruvian Andes, Cusco is a city that resonates with ancient whispers of the Inca Empire and pulses with modern-day vibrance. For travelers seeking an unforgettable blend of culture, history, and natural beauty, Cusco tours offer a one-of-a-kind experience. But to truly immerse yourself in the wonders of this historic city and its surroundings, you need more than just a tour—you need a personalized adventure. That’s where Alpaca Expeditions comes in.
Why Cusco is the Beating Heart of Peru
Often referred to as the gateway to Machu Picchu, Cusco is far more than just a pitstop. It was once the capital of the Inca Empire, and its cobblestone streets, centuries-old cathedrals, and vibrant markets still carry the soul of its rich past. The city’s altitude—over 11,000 feet above sea level—may leave you breathless, but it’s the sights, sounds, and sensations that will truly take your breath away.
From the mysterious ruins of Sacsayhuamán to the colorful San Pedro Market and the Sacred Valley’s jaw-dropping landscapes, Cusco tours introduce you to the essence of Peruvian culture and heritage.
