Once the historic capital of the Inca Empire, Cusco remains an important city nestled in the Andes Mountains and hosts nearly two million visitors each year. Some of the original structures of the city dating from pre-colonial and colonial eras can still be seen. You can opt for a tour of the city to learn more about its culture. The influence of indigenous and Spanish culture on the city’s architecture is apparent in many buildings and provides insight into the region’s complex history. Cusco was declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 1983. Popular sites to visit include the Incan ruins of Sacsayhuaman and Coricancha, though there are plenty more things to do in the city. You can also visit the iconic Machu Picchu from Cusco, and many tourists fit the hilltop citadel into their itinerary. For great stays in the city, keep reading for the Airbnb vacation rentals in Cusco, Peru.
