Tours Prices Cusco

As a good tourist destination, in Cusco you will find a wide variety of prices and services. The prices of the tours can be very cheap when are made with larger groups and old vehicles, and high when are personalized services, of several days or that are visiting places of difficult access. In addition, there are a lot of informal agencies that offer tours with low prices, which we recommend to avoid, because there is not only risk of having a problem, but also because they are not registered as formal agencies, there is no control on the impact to the environment and the guides are not always worried about the good behavior of the passengers, what can affect the local fauna, the state of archaeological sites, among other problems.

Moreover, in the city you will be able to see the variety of services while going over the streets. You will find traditional and international restaurants, places to buy craft work and galleries where you can find everything you need for your tours. With a little bit of patience, you always can find the price you are looking for :).

What to do in Cusco?

Cusco is considered the historic capital of Perú because it was the core of the Inca Empire and due to the amazing conservation status of its buildings, whether built by Quechuas or Spaniards during the occupation of the territory with the fall of the Incas.

Because of this, the tourism in Cusco focuses on the mixture of these two cultures. We have to recommend that you seize the time visiting buildings and archaeological places. Maybe you want to use your vacations to rest and relax, so take advantage of the great variety of restaurants and accommodations there are as an alternative.

Now, if we are talking about culture, there are not only buildings, but also commerce and, of course, the cuisine. Proof of this are the varied restaurants, with dishes and prices, and the San Pedro Market, place in which not only you will be able to try the best Peruvian cuisine with a very convenient price, but also you will see a great variety of products by the corridors of this gallery.
