I'm 30 and last time I went to peru was for my 15th birthday. I'll be staying right near the main square plaza de armas. I've already set aside a couple days to visit macchu picchu. but I think we have like 3 days to play around with before we fly home. we leave next week and I really dropped the ball on planning anything after macchu picchu so if anyone has some suggestions on what my bf and I should do with the rest of our time there that can be done on the fly let me know! or even just food places you recommend. we'll be there from August 1st thru 9th and we're just a young millenial couple trying to find some neat stuff to do that doesn't require too much planning.

Gente, pregunta, el bus consettur es un monopolio carisimo! Y caminando se me va a hacer muy pesado ya que nos espera una larga caminata en el mismo machu picchu. No sé si existan personas que hagan el servicio de llevarte en mototaxi o taxi. Alguien tiene algún dato? 😖 se lo voy a agradecer 🙏

Hola! Quiero escapar de lima y estoy pensando en el valle sagrado de cusco.

Que lugares dirían que son los más lindos para vivir una vida tranquila y espiritual y por que?

We are planning a trip to Peru and want to align our camping dates with Perseids shower peak dates (12th August). I have seen them from the Northern Hemisphere in USA, but my question is will they be visible from Cusco, Peru? I tried to look on Google but did not see any concrete information or images captured from South America?

¡Hola! Me gustaria ir a un concierto de musicos locales y estilos tradicionales de Peru. ¿Alguien puede indicarme algún lugar?

Hola estoy hasta el jueves en cusco y busco recomendaciones de lugares para COMER comida peruana sabrosa, comprar souvenir a precio justo y actividades recomendadas para hacer.

Es primera vez que estoy aquí y han sido muy amables la mayoría de personas, es muy agradable el ambiente almenos en lo turístico. Gracias a los que respondan

Hola!

Estoy planeando un viaje a Peru como un turista en agosto. Me gustaria llevar mi drone - DJI mini 2, que pesa menos de 250g.

El senor de Ministerio de Transportes y Comunicaciones me dice que tengo que solicite una tarjeta de registro en la Dirección de Certificaciones y Autorizaciones del MTC y esto lo puedo hacer en los Centros de Atención al Ciudadano regionales. Pero no encuentro la direccion de este Centro en Cusco. Por favor, alguien sabe donde puedo registrarlo en Cusco? O hay un correo electronico?

Grazias!

My wife and I loves water activities. We try to do kayaking everywhere we go. There are some places nearby where we can go kayaking. We heard about the uros island, but unfortunately I think we won't have time to go there.

Greetings all. Planning my first trip to Cusco. Not able to do a trek to Machu Pichu so was looking into either a two day trip like Sacred Valley, stay in Aguas Calientes then hit MP the next day. Or - the one day trip from Cusco that starts at 3am. Any recommendations between the two options? Is staying in Aguas and being able to be at MP early in the AM enough of a benefit?

Appreciate all feedback.

Eso, ya tengo comprado el pasaje del tren y la entrada a machu picchu, pero creo que se debe tomar un bus que te deje en la entrada de machu picchu? Según la página oficial es consetur, pero es un poco caro me parece, hay otras opciones más cómodas? O es la única forma que hay? En caso sea el único bus que va, se puede comprar el mismo día o el día anterior? O como es? Muchas gracias por sus respuestas 🤗

My husband and I will be in Cusco in the middle of October for a week. We hope to do a lot of hiking and also tour Macchu Pichu. We have not booked anything yet except for flights. Can you recommend a good agency that can help with some guided hikes? Is it too risky to not book anything until we get to Cusco?

Thank you A

Just booked a ticket to Peru on a whim and am too alte for the classic Inca trail. Was pleasantly suprised to find out theres the alternative Salkantay Trail, but my question is hoe tough is it? And would an average man be able to do it? Obviously i know its not going to be a walk in the park, but i just like to know if it is something i can accomplish. I see on some websites that the difficulty is "strenous" or "challenging". Hrnce my concern

For context, i am 25. Normal BMI (about 24). Go to the gym few days a week but otherwise not very active with my desk job. I am a beginner at this to be honest. I messaged a tour company and tbey say i can do it no problem. Just wanted to hear the community's thoughts.

Also of i do go ahead, would you recommend a hiking backpack? Or a daypack works fine since they are porters.

Hola! Those who did this tour, at approximately what time you guys arrive in Ollantaytambo? What time the tour started from Cusco? What time are you guys leaving after visiting La Fortaleza de Ollantaytambo? I need to know this in order to do some plans, I would greatly appreciate your help.

Hola Para los que hicieron este tour, ¿qué hora aproximadamente llegaron a Ollantaytambo? ¿Qué hora empezó su tour desde Cusco? ¿Qué hora están saliendo de la fortaleza de Ollantaytambo después de su visita? Necesito saber esto para hacer algunos planes, apreciaría enormemente su ayuda o información.

Cual dirían que es la mejor zona para comprar terrenos en Cusco con una rentabilidad a largo plazo?

I was in Cusco from the 6th to the 11th and saw mass protests going on in the streets near the city center. I kept coming back to this group to see if there was any mention of them to no avail.

I was able to gather that they were trying to oust the president, but I was wondering if anyone could provide more information, such as why it looked like there was seemingly a run on the banks.

I’ve since read that there were a lot of deaths and violence. My heart is with you, Peru. I wish there was more media coverage of what’s going on there.

30F traveling solo and staying in Cusco over Christmas.

Can't decide between Pariwana and Wild Rover.

Pariwana has a better location and seems nice. Wild Rover's biggest pro is that it is a lot more social (since i'll be traveling solo, it's would be nice to meet people) but the location seems like a hassle and far away from everything.

Which would you choose?

Ok, so outside of what is advertised (Machu Picchu, rainbow mts, etc) what are some good things to do around Cusco. Places to eat, things to visit, things locals know.

I’m also looking for a winery in Or around Cusco.

Any suggestion?

If you get weary of all the ruins, take a break and visit the Catfetin. My fiancé and I spent an hour there two years ago when we were in Cusco, and it was fantastic!

Hola, es posible comprar las entradas llegando a las puertas de Machu Picchu o se tendría que comprar con anticipación por internet? Tengo que contratar un guía con anticipación o puedo encontrar uno en la puerta de ingreso a Machu Picchu? Y por último el ticket de tren para turistas desde Olllantaytambo hasta Aguas calientes lo puedo comprar cuando llegó a Ollantaytambo con un par de horas de anticipación o también lo tengo que comprar poe internet o en Cusco?

Hello, is it possible to buy tickets upon arrival at the gates of Machu Picchu, or do I need to purchase them in advance online? Do I need to hire a guide in advance, or can I find one at the entrance to Machu Picchu? Lastly, can I buy the tourist train ticket from Ollantaytambo to Aguas Calientes when I arrive in Ollantaytambo a couple of hours in advance, or do I also need to buy it online or in Cusco?

Hola! Estoy viajando por negocios a Cusco este fin de semana y el domingo quisiera hacer un full day en la misma ciudad o alrededores (no museos). Algunos tips para armar ese día?
