Cusco
The Inca capital at 3,400 metres, and the only sensible place to wait for your lungs before Machu Picchu.
保存
概要
Cusco was the centre of the Inca world and the Spanish built their churches on its temples' foundations, which is why the streets of the old town are lined with perfect Inca masonry under colonial balconies. It is the base for Machu Picchu, the Sacred Valley, the Salkantay and Ausangate treks and Rainbow Mountain, and a destination in itself: markets, the San Blas artists' quarter, Sacsayhuaman above the city, and a traveller community that has made it a long-stay town despite the altitude.
訪れる理由
For the Inca heartland, some of the world's great treks, and a mountain city with character far beyond its role as a transit point.
予算の内訳
Hostel beds 30 to 55 soles, rooms 100 to 200, one-bedroom apartments 1,500 to 2,500 soles a month in San Blas or Magisterio.

天気と旅行に最適な時期
Dry season from May to September with sunny days (18 to 20°C) and cold nights (near freezing in June and July), the rainy season from November to March with afternoon rain and the greenest valley (February is wettest and the Inca Trail closes), and shoulder months in April and October. The altitude affects everyone for a day or two.
ベストシーズン: April to October; May and September for the balance of weather and crowds.

宿泊先
San Blas for artists, cafes and stairs, the centre around the Plaza de Armas for convenience, Magisterio and Wanchaq for quieter monthly rentals at lower altitude-of-effort, and the Sacred Valley (Ollantaytambo, Pisac, Urubamba) for a lower, warmer base.
地区・エリア
Plaza de Armas and centre (hotels, agencies), San Blas (artists, cafes, views, stairs), Magisterio (quiet apartments), Wanchaq (local, value), the Sacred Valley towns.
食事
Cuy (guinea pig) and alpaca for the curious, lomo saltado and aji de gallina, chicharron in Saylla, quinoa soup and the Andean grains, choclo con queso, the San Pedro market's juices and comedores, and cafes that have learned every traveller's breakfast.
移動手段
Walkable centre (steep); taxis for a few soles (agree first); colectivos to the Sacred Valley; PeruRail and Inca Rail to Aguas Calientes; buses to Puno (Titicaca) and Arequipa; flights to Lima.

The great South American hub: cheap hostels, trekking groups forming nightly, Machu Picchu by the budget route and buses to Bolivia.
Volunteering in the Sacred Valley, Spanish and Quechua courses, and treks that become the story of the year.
Charming for a few weeks of light work; altitude, internet and the rainy season make it a poor base.
The centre of the Andean route between Lima, Titicaca, La Paz and Arequipa.
Wonderful to visit; the altitude rules it out as a residence for most.
A multi-day trek, a volunteer placement in the valley, Spanish, and time at altitude that changes perspective.
Machu Picchu is accessible by train and bus for any fitness level; acclimatise in the Sacred Valley first, take the altitude seriously, and the rewards are enormous.
実用情報
安全
Safe city; altitude sickness is the main medical risk (ascend from Lima, rest, hydrate, consider the Sacred Valley first); bag theft in markets and on night buses; protests can block roads and the rail line.
よくある詐欺
Fake tour agencies selling Inca Trail permits that do not exist (book with licensed operators), massage touts, inflated taxi fares at night, and counterfeit notes.
通信環境と遠隔勤務
Adequate: 20 to 60 Mbps in better cafes, hostels and apartments; a few coworking spaces (Selina, Coworking Cusco); 4G from Claro is fine in the city.
A long-stay traveller town more than a nomad hub: cafes, a community of trek-season regulars and workable internet, with the altitude and the rainy season as the practical constraints.
