Make the Most of Your Cusco Stay

Cultural fusion at altitude

Cusco, Peru's Historical Capital, sits at 3,400 meters where Inca precision engineering meets Spanish colonial grandeur. The city's Centro Histórico features massive mortarless stone walls supporting baroque churches and colonial arcades. Plaza de Armas anchors this architectural dialogue, where the Cathedral and La Compañía church rise above Inca foundations, while nearby Qorikancha reveals gold-lined temple walls beneath the Santo Domingo convent. The hillside San Blas neighborhood offers cobblestone streets lined with artisan galleries and boutique accommodations.

Gateway to Andean experiences

Beyond serving as the departure point for Machu Picchu, Cusco rewards extended stays. The megalithic walls of Sacsayhuamán overlook the city, their 125-ton limestone blocks fitted with remarkable precision. The culinary scene has evolved considerably, with restaurants like Chicha by Gastón Acurio showcasing ancestral ingredients and refined techniques. Premium hotels concentrated around the plaza offer modern amenities within heritage buildings.

Practical considerations

The altitude demands respect—plan for gradual acclimatization upon arrival. Alejandro Velasco Astete International Airport connects primarily through Lima. The Sacred Valley's lower elevation makes it worth considering for your first night. Members can use miles to secure accommodations from the plaza's colonial properties to San Blas's boutique hotels in this continuously inhabited city that has served as an Andean crossroads for over 3,000 years.
