Best Cusco Tours in Spring

Machu Picchu

Gaze back in time upon the splendor of the Inca Empire as you enter the Lost City through the Sun Gate. Beautifully preserved ruins of palaces, baths, temples, storage rooms and roughly 150 houses help you understand and appreciate the Inca way of life.

Machu Picchu tours from Cusco take you there on comfortable sightseeing buses, but for the more adventurous travelers there are Cusco Inca Trail tours to Machu Picchu. You start in the unbelievably verdant Urubamba Valley and make your way through jungle and hilly terrain past other little-known ruins and tunnels.

Sacred Valley

The heart of the Inca Empire was formed by Cusco, Machu Picchu and the beautiful Sacred Valley. A Cusco Sacred Valley tour is usually a part of Peru tours through the area. The Sacred Valley holds many Inca ruins, Pisac being one of the most outstanding among them.

Your tour will take you to the ancient hilltop Inca citadel overlooking the fertile Sacred Valley. The traditional markets of Pisac are great places to purchase authentic handmade souvenirs and get caught up in the rich culture of the indigenous people.

And Beyond

Cusco is not only the gateway to Machu Picchu and the Sacred Valley, but also the perfect passageway to explore the rest of Peru. One of the most popular attractions from Cusco is Lake Titicaca.

South America’s largest lake and quite possibly its most beautiful, Lake Titicaca sits high in the Andes Mountains on the Peru-Bolivia border. Its amazingly blue waters are attributed to its great depth. Lake Titicaca is a popular tourist spot and many visitors come to see the ruins on its islands and interact with the indigenous people who still retain much of their Inca culture.

From Lake Titicaca, many tours continue on to Peru’s neighbour, Bolivia. You can book a tour package to travel to Bolivia and enjoy breathtaking mountain views as you travel from Lake Titicaca to Bolivia’s capital, La Paz. On Witches Street you can interact with the friendly locals and purchase souvenirs to “ward off evil spirits.” While in La Paz, take the time to enjoy a Peña show featuring Andean music and dance with local musicians playing on traditional instruments.
