"Cusco is one of the most unique cities I've been to and the gateway to Peru's most famous tourist destinations. In order to see attractions like the Sacred Valley, Machu Picchu, and Rainbow Mountain, you will need to either fly over the Andes Mountains into Cusco or take a tourist bus around the mountains. Due to limited time, we chose to book a domestic flight from Lima with LATAM Airlines and had an overall positive experience flying with them! Prices typically float around the $120-$150 price range and the flight only took about 2.5 hours. The city itself reminded me of a much larger version of Antigua, Guatemala, and you will have no problem finding just about any type of restaurant you could think of. "

"You will arrive at Cusco and then go to Machu Picchu. Also, I highly recommend you stay a few days (at least one week) in the capital of the Inka's Empire... it has a lot of things to do! "
