Weekend & Day Trips from Cusco, Peru    

Quick Summary: Formerly the capital of the Incan Empire, Cusco is now one of the most popular tourist destinations in Peru, and it offers easy access to many of the country's top tourist destinations. Few people who come here will miss the chance to see Machu Picchu, but there are plenty of lesser known archaeological sites to explore as well, including Sacsayhuaman and Moray. Once you've had your fill of history, you can visit a lively Sunday market, relax in therapeutic hot springs that flow down from the Andes mountains, or go for a hike up the striking Rainbow Mountain.
