Gateway to Machu Picchu and fabled capital of the Inca Empire, Cusco has plenty with which to occupy the visitor for over a week or so, from the colonial and indigenous towns in the Sacred Valley and the ruins of Sacsayhuaman to post-Inca Trail trek spas and the gastronomic delights of the city itself. Balance the cultural with the extreme and paraglide through the Andean foothills, jump South America's highest bungee and raft the grade III and IV rapids of the Urubamba River. Cusco offers all this and is also a portal into discovering the wonders of a mysterious time past. Just remember, don't overdo it, Cusco sits 3300m above sea level and the altitude can play havoc with your health and wellbeing.
