WHAT TO DO IN CUSCO?

Tangol 18/08/2017

VIEWED FROM ABOVE, CUZCO IS SHOWN AS A CITY THAT HAS LIVED THROUGH VARIOUS STAGES OF SPLENDOR, FALL AND RECONSTRUCTION, AS A LIVING ARCHAEOLOGICAL SITE THAT CONTINUES TO CHANGE AND SHOWS THE BOWELS OF HUMAN CIVILIZATION IN A CLEAR AND TRANSPARENT WAY.

FOR THE GREEK THUCYDIDES, "HISTORY IS AN INCESSANT BEGINNING AGAIN." HOWEVER, THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN CUZCO AND THAT PHRASE IS THAT THE ANCIENT CAPITAL OF THE INCA EMPIRE NEVER STOPPED AND THAT INSTEAD OF DISAPPEARING, IT MUTATED OVER AND OVER AGAIN WITHOUT ERASING AN IOTA OF ITS PAST.

TODAY CUZCO HAS SO MANY MONUMENTS FROM SO MANY DIFFERENT ERAS THAT FOR THAT REASON AND FOR MUCH MORE IT IS KNOWN BY CULTURE LOVERS AS "THE ROME OF AMERICA".

BUT IT IS ALSO THE MAIN TOURIST DESTINATION IN PERU BECAUSE OF ANOTHER GREAT EVOLUTIONARY DECISION THAT ITS INHABITANTS MADE AFTER THE 1950 EARTHQUAKE: MAKING THE CITY AN ATTRACTION FOR VISITORS FROM ALL OVER THE WORLD.

THAT RECONSTRUCTION BEGAN TO BEAR FRUIT IN 1990, WHEN TOURIST ACTIVITY BECAME NOTICEABLE IN THE CITY'S ECONOMY AND HOTELS OF VARIOUS TYPES WERE BUILT TO HOUSE TRAVELERS . & NBSP;

ALTHOUGH BY COMBINING THE TERMS "TOURISM" AND "PERU", THE COLLECTIVE IMAGINARY THINK IMMEDIATELY ABOUT GASTRONOMY, CUZCO OFFERS ADVENTURE AND CULTURE (IN ALL ITS FORMS) AS THE MAIN BET. THE PROOF IS IN THE FOLLOWING UNAVOIDABLE TOURS FOR ANY VISITOR.

THE INCA TRAIL TO MACHU PICCHU

TRAVELING TO CUZCO IS ALSO TRAVELING THROUGH TIME. THROUGHOUT THE PERUVIAN REGION OF THE SAME NAME, PEOPLE WEAR OUTFITS SIMILAR TO THOSE OF THEIR MOST REMOTE ANCESTORS AND EAT IN MUCH THE SAME WAY. BUT TO GET TO THE HEART OF THE INCA WONDER IT IS NECESSARY TO DARE TO TAKE THE TRIP OF SEVEN, SIX OR FIVE DAYS TO MACHU PICCHU ON THE ROAD OF THE INCAS.

FOLLOWING A PATH THAT REBUILDS ANY SPIRIT DEFEATED BY EXCESS CIVILIZATION, TOURISTS FIND A PLACE THAT SHOWS THAT MAN CAN LIVE IN PERFECT HARMONY WITH NATURE, AS THE ARCHITECTURE OF MACHU PICCHU MEETS THE GREEN OF EVERY CORNER OF A NEVER SEEN ANYWHERE ELSE ON EARTH. HERE IS THE RESTING PLACE OF ONE OF THE GREAT INCA EMPERORS AND A SACRED SPACE TO CONNECT WITH THE UNIVERSE.

TOUR TO THE SACRED VALLEY

< DIV STYLE = "TEXT-ALIGN: JUSTIFY;"> THROUGH A SINGLE TOUR FROM CUZCO, TOURISTS CAN DISCOVER IN A WHOLE DAY THE BEAUTIFUL SACRED VALLEY OF THE INCAS, WHERE THEY WILL MEET ATTRACTIONS SUCH AS THE CITY OF PISAC WITH ITS PICTURESQUE LOCAL MARKET AND THE RUINS OF OLLANTAYTAMBO.

WHAT THE INCAS CALLED THE SACRED VALLEY IS THE PLACE WHERE THE BEST CORN IN ALL OF PERU IS HARVESTED, THERE IT IS POSSIBLE ENJOY A FLORA THAT LOOKS LIKE FANTASY AND A RICH FAUNA THAT NEVER CEASES TO AMAZE LOCALS AND STRANGERS. IN PISAC, NOBODY CAN STOP ADMIRING THE MARKET IN ITS CENTRAL SQUARE; BUT THE MOST DARING DARE TO PARTICIPATE IN AN AUTHENTIC QUECHUA MASS.

THE TOUR TO THE SACRED VALLEY ENDS AT THE ARCHAEOLOGICAL SITE OF OLLANTAYTAMBO, WHICH IS ALSO THE THE ONLY INCA CITY THAT REMAINS INTACT WITH DESCENDANTS OF THE INDIGENOUS NATIVES AS THE ONLY INHABITANTS.

HIKE THROUGH THE LARES VALLEY

GREEN AS A COMPANION. THE WALK THROUGH THE LARES VALLEY GENERALLY LASTS SEVEN DAYS BECAUSE IT ENDS AT THE TOP OF MACHU PICCHU. IT IS A PATH DRAWN BY BEAUTIFUL LAKES, A SPECTACULAR FAUNA AND A GREEN THAT COVERS THE VIEW AND FILLS THE LUNGS WITH THE WILL TO LIVE. IT IS AN EXPERIENCE THAT ALLOWS YOU TO EXPERIENCE CUZCO FROM DEEP INSIDE.

HIKE TO SALCANTAY

CUZCO ALSO HAS SNOW, AND THE HIKE THROUGH THE SNOWY SALCANTAY PROVES IT QUITE WELL. THIS IS AN ADVENTURE FOR SEASONED SPIRITS THAT DO NOT GIVE UP, AND IS CROWNED BY BEAUTIFUL VIEWS OF MACHU PICCHU ITSELF AND BY HOT SPRINGS.

HUCHUY QOSQO

< DIV STYLE = "TEXT-ALIGN: JUSTIFY;"> THE WALK THROUGH THE HUCHUY QOSQO IS A DELIGHT FUNDAMENTALLY TO DO WITH THE FAMILY. IT OFFERS A BEAUTIFUL VIEW OF THE SACRED VALLEY AND A WALK THROUGH AN ARCHAEOLOGICAL SITE THAT STILL SHOWS THE GLORY OF THE INCA CIVILIZATION.

LOTS OF STONE AND ADOBE BUILDINGS , AS WELL AS AN INTELLIGENT CHANNEL FOR WATER SUPPLY ARE SOME OF THE ARCHITECTURAL BEAUTIES THAT HUCHUY QOSQO STILL SHOWS.

HIKE TO THE MYSTERIOUS CITADEL OF CHOQUEQUIRAO

THE SPANISH JUAN ARIAS DÍAZ DISCOVERED THE CITADEL OF CHOQUEQUIRAO FOR THE WESTERN WORLD IN THE 18TH CENTURY, BUT IT WAS NOT UNTIL 1909 WHEN THE ARCHAEOLOGIST HIRAM BINGHAM ELABORATED A DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF HIS LOCATION AND CHARACTERISTICS. TODAY THE PLACE IS VISITED BY TOURISTS AND EXPERTS FROM ALL OVER THE WORLD WHO TRY TO UNDERSTAND ITS MYSTERIES. THE CITADEL IS CURRENTLY KNOWN AS "THE SACRED SISTER OF MACHU PICCHU" AND THE FOUR-DAY TRIP IS WELL WORTH THE TROUBLE TO UNDERSTAND THE GREATNESS OF THE INCA CULTURE.

THE WONDERS OF PERU HAVE THEIR STRONGEST POINT IN CUZCO, WHERE HISTORY BEATS WITH A PARTICULAR PULSE WHILE EACH STONE REFUSES TO BE BURIED UNDER OBLIVION. THAT IS WHY VISITING THIS LAND OF ANCIENT CULTURE RESULTS IN AN EXPLORATION OF WHAT HUMAN BEINGS DID NOT KNOW WE ARE ALSO.

WE HOPE THAT YOU WILL FIND WITHIN THESE OPTIONS THINGS TO DO IN BEAUTIFUL CUSCO.
