Nestled within the Southeastern part of Peru, near the verdant Urubamba Valley of the Andes mountain range, lies the enchanting city of Cusco. As the erstwhile capital of the impressive Inca Empire, Cusco pulsates with an aura of mystery and intrigue. Recognised by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site, Cusco proudly stands as a living testament to a past wrapped in legend.

The city's unique allure stems from the harmonious blend of its Inca roots paired with Spanish colonial influence, evident in its architecture, such as the majestic Cathedral of Santo Domingo. Yet, Cusco has experienced its fair share of challenges, including devastating earthquakes, the most recent one being in 1950. Today, thanks to its rich historical and cultural significance, Cusco is a major tourist draw, attracting approximately 2 million global voyagers each year, and fuelling its thriving tourism sector.

When to visit Cusco

Plan your visit to coincide with the city's best seasons for a delightful exploration of this Andean gem. The peak tourist season in Cusco extends from June to August. However, if you desire quieter streets and more tranquil exploration, consider visiting during the sweet spots of April-May and September-October.

Cusco experiences a subtropical highland climate, split into dry and wet seasons. While the dry season from April to September assures plenty of sun, the city receives the most rainfall from October to March. Regardless of when you choose to visit, Cusco promises a captivating, unforgettable escape into the past.
