The Cusqueño/a EcoTourist

The Cusqueño/a EcoTourist

💪This is a travel guide to the ecotourism scene in the Cusco province in Peru. It's a great place for ecotourism, with several options, some affordable and others not so much. I did most of the activities myself, so I added all my experience and what I have learned about each place in this guide. 🏞️ This guide shows an active but cultural side of Peru, where your adventurous spirit will flourish as you explore the best Cusco has to offer. It will help you quickly identify the main activities and adventures available in the province. ✅ You will use this guide well if you are in Cusco and want to dive into the ecotourism scene in the province and be active while traveling. This guide is useful for those who enjoy doing activities by themselves. While most of the activities can be done with a tour agency, I did most of them by myself, so you will find recommendations for agencies only for the few activities where it is hard to do without an agency. ❌ You will not use this guide well if you are looking for recommendations for restaurants or hotel accommodations in Cusco. One section in this guide only provides recommendations for places where I ate and stayed in Cusco. However, it is not the focus of this guide; it only includes places where I had good experiences and want to recommend them to you. 💡You will find tips on arranging transportation, which tour agencies to contact if you prefer to tour with a group, and general tips about the activities. This guide will save you hours of research for activities in Cusco and give you a clear insight into what's available. After that, you need to book the tour with the recommended agency or do it yourself if you prefer. 💰 This travel guide is a once-in-a-lifetime purchase; I am continuously on the road, traveling and exploring new places. Whenever I uncover a new gem or get more information about a place I explored, I will add it here, and you will receive the updates automatically at no extra cost. 🍲 Most of the time, I brought food with me on my adventures, but in some, I found great restaurants in Cusco. One section of the guide covers all my recommendations to you. 📕I run a travel blog (https://helpmezuka.com/) where I write about ecotourism and tips for travelers about the destinations I uncovered in my journey. If I covered one adventure in this guide, you will find a link to the blog post where you can find complementary information about it. 🛄 Are you ready to be the next Cusqueño/a EcoTourist? Embark on this journey and let this guide help you uncover the best of the ecotourism scene in Cusco.

Ecotourism in Peru

Ecotourism is a type of tourism that has grown constantly in recent years, with several places being discovered or developed worldwide. Peru has one of the most diverse ecosystems in the world. One can spend weeks/months surfing in the country's north, exploring places like Mancora and Lobitos.

For those with a passion for hiking and a thirst for adventure, Huaraz and Caraz serve as excellent bases. These locations offer access to the beauty of the Black and White cordilleras, inviting exploration of the numerous mountains and lakes in the area.

Peru also contains part of the Amazon, so places like Manu, Tambopata, and Iquitos are great for those interested in exploring the world's lungs.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR
🌎 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 practices without losing the opportunity to connect with the local culture. If you like to combine traveling with being active and exploring nature, my services will help to improve your travel experience. 🛑 My services won't help if you seek the best hotels or restaurant recommendations for a specific destination. When I recommend a restaurant or accommodation in my services, it was a place I visited and had a good experience, but that's not my specialty.
