Package holiday to Cusco

Cusco, the former capital of the Inca Empire, is located at an altitude of 3,400 meters in the Peruvian Andes and is one of the most fascinating cities in South America. The Spaniards built their colonial churches and palaces directly on the foundations of Inca structures, creating a unique architectural fusion that is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

The Plaza de Armas, the heart of the city, is framed by the Cathedral and the Jesuit church Compania de Jesus. The street Hatun Rumiyoc houses the famous Twelve-Angled Stone — a stone perfectly integrated into an Inca wall with twelve corners, demonstrating the superior stonemasonry of the Incas. The fortress ruins of Sacsayhuaman above the city consist of stone blocks weighing up to 200 tons, the transport of which remains a mystery to this day.

The artist district of San Blas, with its steep cobblestone streets, is home to workshops, galleries, and charming cafes. Cusco is the starting point for the Sacred Valley of the Incas with Ollantaytambo and Pisac, as well as for the journey to Machu Picchu. The local cuisine surprises with specialties such as Cuy (guinea pig) and alpaca steak. Important: Plan at least two days for acclimatization to the altitude. May to October offers dry, sunny weather.

Cusco particularly impresses with fascinating culture, breathtaking nature, excellent cuisine. As a package holiday destination, you benefit from attractive all-inclusive packages with flights, hotels, and often transfers – all at a fixed price and fully secured.
