Faqs Cusco Food Tour
The best time to visit Cusco is during the dry season from May to September when there is less rain and the weather is generally mild and sunny (although nights could be very cold). However, this is also the busiest time for tourism, so expect larger crowds and higher prices.
Most visitors to Peru, including those traveling to Cusco to other regions of Peru, do not need a visa for stays of up to 183 days. However, you will need a valid passport and may need to show proof of onward travel.
Cusco is located at an altitude of over 11,000 feet above sea level (3,400 meters), so altitude sickness can be a concern for some travelers. It’s a good idea to acclimate for a few days before undertaking any strenuous activities and to drink plenty of water to stay hydrated.
The must-visit attractions in Cusco include the Plaza de Armas (main square), Sacsayhuaman, Coricancha (temple of the sun), San Blas neighborhood, Tamboamachay, Pukapukara, and various museums. The nearby Sacred Valley and Machu Picchu are also popular destinations.
Pack comfortable, lightweight clothing for warmer days and layers for cold nights. Don’t forget to bring sunscreen, a hat, and a reusable water bottle. If you plan to trek, make sure to bring appropriate gear (footwear and clothing).
Cusco is a relatively safe destination in Peru for travelers but it’s always a good idea to take caution and be aware of your surroundings, especially in crowded areas. Don’t carry large amounts of cash or valuables with you and use reputable taxis or transportation services.
