Cusco

Обзор

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.

Почему стоит посетить

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.

Погода и лучшее время для посещения

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.

Лучшее время: April to October; May and September for the balance of weather and crowds.

Куда ещё поехать в Май →

Где остановиться

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.

Районы

Plaza de Armas and centre (hotels, agencies), San Blas (artists, cafes, views, stairs), Magisterio (quiet apartments), Wanchaq (local, value), the Sacred Valley towns.

Еда

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.

Как добраться

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.

Чем заняться

По стилю путешествия

Единая база данных направлений, семь режимов просмотра. Соответствие, редакционная оценка по пятибалльной шкале.

Практическое

Безопасность

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.

Распространённые схемы мошенничества

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.

Связь и удалённая работа

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.

Ask before photographing people in traditional dress (and pay if they pose for a living), buy from makers, respect Inca sites (no climbing walls), chew coca but do not try to take it home, and dress warmly in the evenings.
