Discovering the Magic of Cusco: My Unforgettable Journey

Hello travelers! Today I want to share with you an experience that will stay with me forever: my trip to Cusco, a city that captivates with its history, culture, and breathtaking landscapes.

Day 1: Arrival and First Impressions

After an exhilarating flight over the Andes, I finally landed at Alejandro Velasco Astete International Airport. From the very first moment, Cusco greeted me with its fresh air and unique energy. I headed to my accommodation in the historic center and was amazed by the colonial architecture and cobblestone streets that retain the charm of bygone eras.

Day 2: Exploring the Imperial City

The second day was dedicated to exploring the heart of Cusco. I started early with a visit to Plaza de Armas, surrounded by majestic buildings like the Cathedral and the Church of the Society of Jesus. The vibrant atmosphere of the square, with local vendors offering handicrafts and live music, was simply fascinating.

Day 3: The Sacred Valley of the Incas

I couldn’t miss the opportunity to visit the Sacred Valley, an experience I highly recommend. From Pisac to Ollantaytambo, each archaeological site has its own story that transports you to the glorious past of the Incas. The agricultural terraces and the view of the mountains left me breathless.

Day 4: Adventure in Machu Picchu

The climax of my trip was visiting Machu Picchu. I took the train from Ollantaytambo to Aguas Calientes and then a bus up to the lost city of the Incas. The first lights of dawn gradually illuminated the ruins, creating a magical atmosphere that exceeded all my expectations.

Day 5: Cusco Flavors and Farewell

Before departing, I decided to indulge in the local cuisine. I tried traditional dishes like baked guinea pig (cuy) and stuffed rocoto pepper, accompanied by refreshing chicha morada. Every bite was a celebration of authentic flavors.

Final Reflection

My trip to Cusco was not only an adventure filled with historical discoveries and stunning landscapes, but also a personal journey of connection with a vibrant and hospitable culture. Every corner of this city left an indelible impression on me, and I am sure I will return to explore more of this wonderful land.

Until next time, Cusco!
