One Day In Cusco
A realistic single-day route through Cusco's historic centre and the four ruins above the city.
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.
