Cusco: The Starting Point of Your Trip
Cusco, at about 3,400 m above sea level, was the capital of the Tahuantinsuyo and today is the base for visiting Machu Picchu, the Sacred Valley and the high-mountain landscapes of the region. Almost all the trips in this section begin with your arrival at the Cusco airport, a transfer to the hotel and an easy first day to acclimatize, usually with the city tour of Cusco and the four nearby ruins.
