I had a very good time there and I felt safe. I spent two days there, acclimatizing to my hikes on the Inca Trail and Rainbow Mountain. I went to the Plaza de Armas, saw the Cathedral in Cuzco and took a tour inside it. I also liked walking around the San Blas area. I also went to Saqsaywaman. It's amazing how the whole city can be seen from the top. It's a beautiful city. I was bothered by people selling souvenirs on the street, but I just ignored them.
Posted: August 9, 2023I loved Cusco. I went to the San Pedro market, it was incredible, lots of cheap food stalls. I stayed at the Niños Fierro hotel, which was very friendly and had great service. I also got medicine for altitude sickness from my doctor, so I didn't have to worry about acclimatizing.
Posted: April 11, 2023I felt very safe walking around the city and loved their "made from scratch" meals, even while trekking to Machu Picchu and the Choquequirao ruins. Everything was very cheap, and the buses seemed safe. I did not rent a car and I would not recommend it, as their driving habits are quite different. People were incredibly helpful and courteous at every step.
Posted: March 30, 2023Visit the Sacred Valley, Arequipa and Puno (these two cities are easily accessible from Cuzco and are worth visiting).
Posted: October 27, 2022Do not visit Machu Picchu from Cusco. First, go to the Sacred Valley, then to Machu Picchu, and then to Cusco. You want to start from low and then go higher. If you go to Cusco first, there is a much greater risk that you will experience altitude sickness.
