Best Things to Do in Cusco, Peru
Cusco is one of my favorite places. It is so much more than a base to visit Machu Picchu. Located in the Andes Mountains, the town has a mystical feel about it. The beautiful colonial buildings and cobbled streets are breathtaking with the mountains serving as a backdrop.

The reason for this is due to the temperatures hovering around freezing, allowing the snow to melt and then refreeze, leaving the hilly roads…
