Cusco Itinerary

Not every traveller arrives with the same amount of time, so the itineraries here are sorted by trip length rather than by category. Each plan strings together a sensible mix of ruins, markets, food and day trips, with room to breathe at altitude. Pick the number of days that matches your stay and adjust from there.
