Cusco, Peru

Nature Walk in Cusco

Even the most urban cities hide pockets of nature for those willing to walk. Cusco's parks, gardens, and green corridors offer a breathing space between the landmarks — and some of the best views you'll find.

Cusco was the capital of the Inca Empire, and walking its steep cobblestoned streets reveals a city where massive Inca stone walls form the foundations of Spanish colonial churches. It is the gateway to Machu Picchu and the Sacred Valley.
