Cuzco is a unique combination of colonial and religious splendor built on the hefty stone foundations of the Incas. The country's biggest draw card of all, Machu Picchu, is a stone's throw away. There are festivals galore, and the Sacred Valley holds many an idyllic town and ancient ruin.
Around Cuzco, coverage includes the ruins of Saqsaywamán, Q'enqo, Pukapukara and Tambomachay. The Sacred Valley holds the towns of Pisac, Calca, Yucay, Urubamba, Ollantaytambo, Chinchero, the salt pans of Salinas and the amphitheatre at Moray. Machu Picchu, the Inca Trail and villages from Cuzco up to the Amazonian jungle and down to Puno are all covered in this chapter.
You'll find out where the top shops, restaurants and accommodations are, as well as where to party hard. There's also in-depth coverage of how to get around the region, plus Inca history, culture and arts to pass the time.
