CUZCO: Travel and Tours in Peru
Visit in Cuzco city:
.• Main Square. When the Incas ruled Cusco, it was known as the Huacaypata, or “place of weeping or of meeting”, and was the backdrop to sacred ceremonies held there. It has likewise been the stage to several key historical events.
• The Cathedral. Built in the 16th century, this landmark is really three churches in one as well as a depository of valuable masterpieces – more than 1200 are on display -, ranging from gold leafed altars, a wood carved choir and a painting with an interesting interpretation of the Last Supper, where the artist included, among the food served, a Guinea pig, which is traditional meal of Cusco.
• Church of Our Lady of Mercy. This church is headquarters of the Order of Mercy (Mercedarians) in Peru. It is an excellent example of architecture coming out of the time when Peru was a Spanish viceroyalty. On its interior walls hang flawlessly restored paintings from the Cusco School. Yet, the highlight of it all is the pure-gold custody, studded with diamonds, rubies, pearls and other gemstones, which is said to be a replica of the one in the Cathedral of Toledo, Spain.
• Church of the Company of Jesus. A Jesuit church, located to one side of the Main Square. Inside are priceless works of art, delicate wood religious statues and uncommon places tucked away in corners of the building, like its underground chapel dedicated to praying for the dead, its sacristy and its aerial corridors that reach to the central cupola.
• Saint Dominic Convent. Build overtop the remains of the Incan Qoricancha, or Temple of the Sun, which according to the Incas was the exact center of the world. A tour of the place includes the remaining sections of the old Incan temple, royal apartments, three other minor temples (dedicated to the moon, the stars and the rainbow) and the circular tower, which is the signature of this landmark.
• San Blas, quarter and church. A charming section of town where Cusco’s artisans live and work. It used to be known as the Incan quarter of T’oqokachi. Visit the church there to see a nice collection of paintings.
• Archbishop Palace and the 12-angle stone. Built during the Colony on the palace foundations of one of the Incan Emperors, Inca Roca, and exhibiting definite Arabic influences, it is currently site of the Museum of Religious Art. Next to the Archbishop Palace on Hatunrumiyoc Street, is an ancient Incan wall, a famous example of the notable stone work of the Incas, who accomplished themselves in polishing and fitting together blocks of stone. This is the wall that contains the celebrated “Twelveangle” stone, famous for the perfect fit of each one of its corners.
• Larco Museum of Pre-Columbian Art. Another nice collection (450 works of art) are on display here, done between 1250 B.C. and 1532 A.D.
• Sacsayhuamán archeological complex: the Fortress, Qenko, Pukapukara, and Tambomachay. There are 33 archeological sites within this area, yet obviously the most important is Sacsayhuamán itself. Its name means “house of the sun”, and every June 24th, the Inti Raymi or Festival of the Sun is celebrated at this spot. Other sites include: 1) Qenko, which means “labyrinth”, that researchers believe was built around 1500 A.D. and may have been the center of sun, moon and star worship, 2) Pukapukara features chambers, inner plazas, aqueducts, stairways and trails and seems to have served as a tambo, or an inn, where the Incan Emperor might have stopped and rested for the night, and 3) Tambomachay, which some historians hypothesize that might have been a place for water worship and earth regeneration.

Visit in Cuzco the Sacred Valley of the Incas:
• Písac. Go to this village to experience its handicraft market as well as to see ancient Incan constructions: an irrigation system, an observatory, an Intiwatana (stone used as a calendar, taking into account the position of the sun), and agricultural terraces.
• Calca. This town is placed at the skirts of two huge mountains: Pitusiray and Sawasiray, and in and around it sit different attractions:Huchu’y Qosqo or “Small Cusco” archeological complex and two sets of springs: Machacancha (heated sulfurous waters) and Minasmoqo (cold bubbling mineral waters).
• Yucay. This community has historically been seen as a very important center for irrigation technology and farming. Built here long ago was a palace for Manco Sayri Túpac, which according to legend was first owned by the Incan Emperor Huayna Cápac.
• Urubamba. This town is in the heart of the Sacred Valley. Before the Conquest, it was an extremely important agricultural center and still today, farming forms part of its economic base, along with tourism.
• Ollantaytambo. It is called “a living Incan town” since people there still follow traditions and customs passed down through the years. The archeological complex of Ollantaytambo includes a temple, agricultural terraces and an urban sector. When the Incas were in power, it was an chief administrative center and a fort, as the towering walls and imposing fortified towers so readily demonstrate. A short distance from Ollantaytambo is the village of Willoc, whose inhabitants speak Quechua and dress in bright red outfits to differentiate themselves from the other peoples in the region and mark themselves as members of a single ayllu (family).

Places to visit in Cuzco:.
• Historic Sanctuary of Machu Picchu. Spread out over 38,448 hectares, this area protects 34 archeological sites, including the citadel of the same name, all of which are connected via the Inca Trail and shelters an incredible variety of plants and animals. Because it is situated in rough, semi-tropical mountain terrain, it possesses nine different life zones. The altitude of the sanctuary ranges from 6,500 fasl to 19,600 fasl, from sub-tropical regions, or the eyebrow of the jungle, to high Andean regions (Puna). Greatest natural wealth is located in the wet, tropical zones between 6,500 fasl and 9,800 fasl. There, 350 orchid species have been discovered as well as a big number of vines and bromeliads. Wildlife diversity is also mind-boggling. 432 bird species are on record, among them being the Cock of the Rock (Rupícola peruviana) and many different hummingbirds. In terms of large mammals, you can see the spectacled bear (Tremarctos ornatos), the puma (Puma concolor) and the dwarf brocket (Mazama chunyi), a species of deer. And let us not forget the amazing diversity or reptiles, amphibians and insects.
• Citadel of Machu Picchu. It is divided into two quarters. The farming quarter is surrounded by different sized and shaped agricultural terraces, and within its bounds are five distinct structures and grain storehouses called colcas. On the other hand, the most important architectural elements of any Incan city are located in the urban quarter. The city was built in a shape of the letter “U”, with a large northern sub-sector containing structures used for religious purposes and the southern sector, set aside for residential purposes. According to hypotheses, structures there were homes for priests, governors and even possibly for the acllas (the “chosen women”). This sector is also site of the Intiwatana, a stone sculpted by the Incas, whose name translates into “hitching post of the Sun”. Scholars contend that, due to its location, it may have been used as a marker for the position of the sun during solstices or possibly a sacrificial altar.
• Intipunku. Its name means “Doorway of the Sun” and, if one is trekking along the Inca Trail to Machu Picchu, it is the main threshold to the site. Arriving there before sunrise in order to watch as the morning sheds its shroud of mist and unveils the Incan city is truly an exciting, sublime and unforgettable experience.
• Putucusi Lookout. Towering above the village of Machu Picchu is Mount Putucusi, whose peak overlooks the Vilcanota Canyon and the citadel of Machu Picchu. It takes close to three hours to ascend along a path covered in thick vegetation.
• Wayna Picchu. The eternal guardian of the Sanctuary, Wayna Picchu (meaning “Young Mountain” in Quechua) towers over the Incan city. To conquer its summit is truly a rewarding experience. Along the route and at the top of the mountain are sacred structures and eye catching terraces, built right against the slope’s edge.
• Wiñaywayna. Wiñaywayna means “Forever Young” in Quechua, and is perhaps the most beautiful building along the Inca Trail. Yet, you do not need to complete the four or eightday trek of the Inca Trail to visit it. You can reach it from the village of Machu Picchu following the section of train tracks and then beginning your climb at the 104th kilometer. Expect the journey to take three and a half hours.
• Temple of the Moon. Find the path starting from the Machu Picchu main square and hike along it for three hours; you will soon come to this fascinating temple, where the three planes of Incan religion are depicted: the Hanan Pacha (the Heavens, or world of above), the Kay Pacha (the Earth, or physical life) and the Ukju Pacha (the underworld, or world of below), represented respectively by the condor, the puma and the snake.
• Site Museum and Botanical Gardens. The Manuel Chávez Ballón site museum and the botanical gardens are located at the bottom of the Machu Picchu archeological complex. The site museum offers exhibits of gold, silver and ceramic artifacts unearthed at the different sites within the Historic Sanctuary of Machu Picchu.

Places to visit in Cuzco:
• Chinchero. An attractive church built during the Colony is the highlight of this village and on the inside hang lovely paintings from the Cusco School. Yet, it is on Sundays that the action really starts to happen when area merchants and farmers assemble at the flea market to buy and sell, using the age old method of bartering for goods. Likewise, you can visit impressive archeological remains in the area.
• Maras. Something very peculiar about this town is that you can still see the original Indian aristocratic coats of arms hanging on the outside of the church and houses.
It is also the starting point for visiting the nearby Maras salt flats, a view of a patchwork of 3,000 wells that have been used since the Incan Empire.
• Moray agricultural terraces. An impressive spectacle – a circular system of terraces, possibly used for agricultural experimentation since the concentric nature of the circles enabled its engineers to generate different temperatures and thereby reproduce all the ecological tiers found within the Incan Empire.
Cuzco Peru Travel agency tours Operator: cusco travel - sacred valley - Inca Trail - Machu Picchu - Salkantay trek - chaoquequirao cuzco - cuzco Hotels Places to visit From Cusco:
• Oropesa. Traditionally called the “Land of Bread”. Its handmade ovens, centuries old, are still used on a daily basis to bake the delicious country bread called chutas in quechua.
• Pikillacta. This city predates the Incas as experts estimate it reached its zenith somewhere between 800 A.D. and 1100 A.D. during the time period known as the Wari regional confederation.
• Andahuaylillas. The church in this village is called the “Peruvian Sistine Chapel”, a designation based upon its magnificently painted walls. A delight to the eyes.
• Huaro. Some of the walls in this town’s church have frescos attributed to Tadeo Escalante (1803), one of the last painters of the Cusco School.
• Tipón archeological complex. According to legend, Incan Emperor Wiracocha ordered royal gardens to be built here. It is also evidence of the high level of development reached by the Incas in their construction of terraces and irrigation ditches.
• Raqchi archeological complex. It dates back to the 15th century and considered one of the boldest of all Incan constructions. The Wiracocha Temple is by far the best part, built of adobe walls on volcanic rock foundations. The community of Raqchi is just a few minutes away and the villagers there have developed their own special form of experiential tourism.
• Choquequirao archeological complex, 150 miles from Abancay (Apurímac). Another one of the lost cities in the Vilcabamba Valley. It was within this region that the Incas took refuge, starting in 1536 after the Spanish Conquest. It contains 9 distinct architectural groups, all made out of stone. There are hundreds of terraces, rooms and irrigation systems. The only route to this site starts in the town of Cachora, in the department of Apurímac.
• Machu Picchu Historic Sanctuary. World Heritage site - UNESCO and one of The New Seven Wonders.

WHEN:
Holy Week. March or April, moveable. Holy Monday is day of the procession and blessing of the Lord of Earthquakes, the patron saint of Cusco.
Corpus Christi. May or June, moveable. A massive procession of 16 patron saints from different churches takes place.
Qoyllur Rit’i. May or June, moveable. Its name means “Brightness of Snow” and it is a mixing of ancient Andean religions, dealing with mountain worship (apus – mountain protectors), with Catholicism. Some 50,000 people from different regions of the South take part, all decked out in their traditional costumes as they climb the mountain to the Sinakara Sanctuary.
Pilgrims usually carry stones of different shapes and sizes that will later be piled on top of each other to form an apacheta (“stone mound”). On the way back, they carry blocks of ice on their backs.
Inti Raymi. June 24th. A staging of the festival of the Sun god. Celebrations begin at the Qoricancha and end at Sacsayhuamán. It is a sight full and utterly rooted in Indian traditions.
Our Lady of Mount Carmel. July 16th. It takes place in the town of Paucartambo, a vibrant celebration of dancing, full of color and traditions, and a religious procession of the Virgin Mary.

CUZCO
“Stand in awe of the Center of the World, the lost city of Machu Picchu and the extraordinary Inca Trails.”
One of a kind architecture plus a profound feeling of history equals one of the most seductive cities on the planet: Cusco. Radiant by day, Cusco’s main square dresses itself up for a party at night, soft yellow lights illuminating lovely arcades and the head turning facades of the Cathedral and the Church of the Company of Jesus.
Then, upon leaving the city limits one comes face to face with what looks like a sort of an Incan theme park in Sacsayhuamán–with menhirs standing up to 29.5 feet and weighing 350 tons. A little farther along, there are other sacred sites, like Qenko, or the very popular Baños del Inca (Inca baths) or Tambomachay, a fascinating site dedicated to worship water.
Then, there is the Sacred Valley of the Incas, an overcharged natural setting. Eye pleasing agricultural terraces descend down the mountains, like giant stair steps. The air is filled with the scent of baking bread, prepared in mud ovens, and endless fields of corn dance with the wind.
Under the intense blue sky sit picturesque villages like Písac, Yucay and Ollantaytambo, and on their outskirts lie noteworthy Incan palaces.
Machu Picchu, the magical citadel, brings the visitor within reach of an intact ancient world where history is found in every nook and cranny. Lest we forget, recently opened Choquequirao, is another Incan site that takes the breath away. In Cusco, the word mystical gets its true meaning.

What to buy?
Cusco is a handicraft lover’s dream come true, with so much to choose from that it will be hard to say no to any of them, starting with handmade clothing, pottery pieces, silver jewelry, copies of paintings from the Cusco School, wood carved statues decorated in gold leaf, religious figurines (the Three Kings, the Virgin Mary, Baby Jesus and archangels), masks, etc. The San Blas quarter is traditionally where you will find most of Cusco’s famous artisans’ workshops, the likes of Edilberto Mérida, Antonio Olave, Jesús La Torre and the Mendívil family.
What to eat?
Since visitors from all over the world come to Cusco, food to satisfy all tastes and budgets is served there. You can find restaurants that serve traditional southern Andean dishes, like qapchi (potato and cheese salad) or lawa (a vegetable-beef soup) as well as those featuring alpaca meat (prized for its tenderness and low cholesterol), and restaurants that are increasingly providing specialties from the Novo-Andean style, which has prided itself on using rediscovered Andean produce, like quinoa (a grain) and aguaymanto (type of berry), in modern cooking techniques. There are plenty of Italian restaurants and other, international ones. Yet, you should try one of the traditional country restaurants that offer a varied menu without losing the taste of a good home cooked meal.

Special recommendations Seeing that you are in the Andes, it will be necessary to acclimate yourself. Take it easy the first day, eat light food and drink what the natives drink to keep from feeling the affects of soroche or altitude sickness – mate de coca (coca tea). During the rainy season, bring a waterproof jacket, but during the dry season, wear a hat and use plenty of sun block. When traveling in the Historic Sanctuary of Machu Picchu, please follow the posted rules that will help in preserving its natural and cultural beauty.

MACHU PICCHU AND THE INCA TRAIL
“UNESCO designated it a World Heritage Site in 1983 and the world has recently voted it as one of the New Seven Wonders of the World.”
Machu Picchu (“Old Mountain” in Quechua), is an impressive sight as it rises out of the midst of a group of green covered mountains in southern Peru, 7,874 fasl in a steamy, semitropical region. Its beauty touches the visitors’ senses and the mysteries surrounding it keep people asking as yet unresolved questions.
Why was this city built in a hidden spot of the South American jungle? What did Machu Picchu really mean to the Incas? How was it possible for them to move gargantuan stones that fit perfectly one to another to construct such immense walls? These are just some of the questions that tantalize the imagination of scientists and tourists as they seek to unravel its mysteries, so much so that there are even those who believe supernatural intervention was needed to explain the perfection of Machu Picchu’s architecture.
Nevertheless, what really matters about this city is that it holds a different meaning for every person. This is, perhaps, the reason why so many people are convinced that mystical energies flow from its stones, like a huge fountain capable of reviving the most exhausted of travelers.

INCA TRAIL TO MACHU PICCHU
The most popular trek in Peru is the famed Inca Trail, which is likely a road that the ancient Inca used for sacred pilgrimages. Along the route you can view ruins from the once great Incas, who cherished the Sacred Valley for its beauty and resources. Typically, Inca Trail Peru treks last 2 days, 4 days or 7 days. Cusco, the ancient Inca Empire capital, is where people usually head before taking on the Inca Trail, and if you don’t have your plans figured out, there are numerous travel agencies and adventure guides who can help you pick out the right package. Keep in mind that camping along the way on overnight trips is your only option for accommodations, so if you prefer to sleep in a bed, you might try just hiking the last part of the Inca Trail, which can be done in one day. Regardless of where you start, Machu Picchu is the ending point for the trail, so you will always have a most just reward for your efforts.
Each day up to 2,000 tourists flood the ancient Inca mountaintop city of Machu Picchu in southern Peru. They come to marvel at temples built from perfectly chiseled blocks of granite and pay homage to the sun.
Most of the tourists travel by train from nearby Cusco. Others ride the bus. A few hundred heartier souls arrive on foot after a four-day slog along the famed Inca Trail.
Machu Picchu Under Threat from Pressures of Tourism Can Tourists Save a Peruvian Rain Forest? Inca Traditions Pay Off for Peruvian Weavers "For the average tourist, [the Inca Trail] could be the adventure of a lifetime and a real stretch both physically and psychologically," said Karin Muller, a writer, photographer, and adventurer based in Raleigh, North Carolina.
