Recommended Trips In The Area
- Located in the Sacred Valley of the Incas, Choquequirao is a prime hiking spot due to its superb mountain scenery. Tourists can simply drive two and a half hours to Cachora to meet their guide, then embark on the multi-day trek up to the site, which is similarly beautiful to but much less crowded than Machu Picchu.
- About 40 kilometers from Cuzco, the town of Maras is home to a stunning spread of pre-Inca salt evaporation ponds of all different colors. Consider stopping by Moray nearby as well; the enormous terraced, circular depressions are simply more proof of the ancient civilization’s remarkable architectural abilities.
