Deric Lima (Zuka)

Cusco, Peru

🌎 I started traveling the world in 2015 and never stopped since then. So far, I have visited more than 40 countries and still counting, learning a lot about their cultures, connecting with the locals, and exploring their nature. 🗓️ One thing I learned throughout these years is real: Planning a trip takes time!! If you don't have a direction or some previous knowledge about one destination, it will take A LOT OF TIME!! I love to plan trips, and I improved how I create my itineraries so that I now have the confidence and experience to help others plan their trips. ⛰️ I aim to use all my knowledge acquired over all these years and help you plan your next dream vacation. The type of travel I specialize in is ecotourism and adventures worldwide!! I love to be active while I'm exploring new destinations. I lived in Brazil, Serbia, and I'm currently living the digital nomad lifestyle in South America. ✅ My services will help if you are into ecotourism, adventure travel, and sustainable p

Discovering the Best of Cusco: Your Ultimate Travel Guide

Cusco, the historical heart of Peru, is a treasure trove of rich culture, ancient history, and stunning landscapes. Nestled high in the Andes, this former capital of the Inca Empire offers travelers a unique blend of centuries-old architecture and vibrant modern life. Here’s a rundown of the top places to explore in Cusco and why each one should be on your travel itinerary.

Historic Center of Cusco

The cobbled streets of Cusco’s historic center are brimming with life and history. Plaza de Armas, the main square, is a lively hub where colonial baroque churches like the Cusco Cathedral and the Church of La Compañía contrast beautifully with remnants of ancient Incan walls. Artisanal markets, quaint cafes, and bustling restaurants offering traditional Peruvian cuisine make this area perfect for both history buffs and foodies.

Sacsayhuamán

Overlooking the city from its northern outskirts, Sacsayhuamán is a marvel of Incan engineering. This ancient fortress, built with massive stone blocks, provides an impressive insight into the advanced architectural prowess of the Incas, as well as striking panoramic views of Cusco
