Located at an altitude of over 11,000 feet in the heart of the Andes mountains, is the dynamic and historic city of Cusco Peru. Cusco, which is also spelled Cuzco, is the famed capital of the ancient Inca Empire, and it has served as a travelers’ mecca for 100"s of years. Though Cuzco Peru was the center of the Inca Empire for a relatively short time, relics and imprints from the great civilization remain to this day, melding into a modern world that seems unable to change the unique character of the city. When you visit Cusco, you feel as if you’ve been transported to another dimension of sorts. Perhaps that is partly due to the altitude’s effect on your body and mind. If you are flying here and haven’t yet adjusted to the Andes Mountains, prepare to spend the better part of your first day simply lounging around or lying in bed with altitude sickness. While that seems wholly uncharming, there are natural means by which to ease your symptoms.
So, we’ve merely scratched the surface when it comes to Cusco travel information and Cusco history, but this is one of those places you truly have to experience to fully understand. Booking an informative Cusco tour is a good idea if you wish to gain some added insight during your Cusco travel excursion, and simply taking your own walking Cusco tour with a good guide book in hand can make for a most pleasant experience. If you have enough time during your Cusco travel window to visit the city’s neighborhood of San Blas, it is highly recommended you do so. San Blas is a funky sort of district, boasting some pretty unique cafes and artsy galleries, as well as one of the best boutique Cusco hotels. The shops found here are among the most interesting to visit in all of Peru, and you can often observe some shop owners or workers executing their crafts. A custom-made item at one of these shops is sure to make a great gift, if not for somebody special, than for yourself indeed. Cuzco Peru is a very special place worthy of spending time at for any traveler. Many people will stop here before heading to Machu Picchu, or to other points of interest located within Peru’s Sacred Valley. The markets at towns like Chinchero and Pisac are top considerations besides the mystical Machu Picchu ruins, as is the town of Ollantaytambo.

While we walked through the ruins at Sacsayhuaman, and also on our hike back to Cusco, we saw many llama's and alpacas. We were fascinated seeing these animals in their natural habitat and not on a farm or in a zoo. They are very friendly though and will stand their ground with you if you get too....
