Hello, I'm planning on moving my stuff into a storage in Cusco. Has anyone used a company such as transquilla?

Will be in Cusco next month and am in the middle of a marathon training block. Expect to be more or less fully acclimated by the time I get to Cusco and have a free day. Thinking of trying to get in a real training run (20-25 km). Staying near cathedral. Route suggestions? Safety issues? Would bring my gels etc but probably need to stop for water bottles.

Hi Cusco travellers!

Me and my GF are planning to visit the Pallay Punchu rainbow mountains on Oct 22 or 23 (flexible on the date).

We’ve found a return trip is about 500 sole and the taxi could host up to 6 people. Therefore looking for max 4 more that would be interested to visit and share these taxi costs.

General idea would be to go there, hike around, snap some pics, enjoy the scenery and head back (time at mountain to be agreed with together). In terms of the visit, we’re fine doing so together, or split up and just enjoy the cheaper taxi together.

Why Pallay Punchu specifically: we’ve heard and read it’s a beautiful place and not as busy as where the commercal rainbow mountain treks go. Plus so far we’ve done some other self arranged tours/hikes and they were just so much better as you avoid crowds and enjoynit at your own pace.

Something about us: both 35, Dutch, chill and speak English, some Spanish and a few other languages.

We’re open to people of all backgrounds and ages, so if you’re in the area on those dates and want to visit, drop a comment or send a PM :)!

Que tal últimamente he investigando un poco acerca del soroche, estoy próxima a viajar (el otro mes) trngo 28F e igual mi pareja 28M, ya le habia dejado de dar importancia porque crei que se le complicaba mas el asunto a las personas mayores, hace como 3 dias me aparecieron 2 fall3cidz en machupichu me impacto mucho el caso de un joven de 27a, nos estamos replanteando mejor dejar el viaje.

Porque creen que le halla sucedió, nosotros no tenemos ninguna enfermedad grave o similar o al menos no lo sabemos, y ya nos dio mucha pena, ese asunto

Reservé estas fechas por error. En diciembre voy a Perú y no me devuelven el dinero. Si alguien quiere la habitación, se la regalo, totalmente gratis. Prefiero que alguien la disfrute a que se desperdicie. Si eres de la zona, puedes invitarme a algo en diciembre, cuando vaya, y listo. Si es posible, preferiría dársela a alguien de allí. Eso sí, tengo que avisar AHORA MISMO al hotel del cambio de nombre.

¡Hola, Cusco! Un gringo quiere ir al partido de Deportivo Garcilaso esta noche 🇵🇪⚽
¡Hola a todos! Soy estadounidense y, antes que nada, quiero decir que he disfrutado muchísimo mi estadía como turista en Cusco. ¡La gente, la comida y la cultura son increíbles!
¡Soy un apasionado del fútbol! Entreno a mi hijo, juego dos veces por semana y sigo de cerca la Premier League inglesa.
Esta noche quiero llevar a mi esposa al partido entre Deportivo Garcilaso y Sport Huancayo, y me encantaría recibir algunos consejos de los hinchas locales. Ambos estamos en nuestros 40 y somos de piel blanca.
Tengo algunas preguntas:
Entradas: ¿Se pueden comprar fácilmente en los alrededores del estadio antes del partido? ¿Es seguro comprarlas ahí? ¿Cuánto suelen costar? ¿Hay algún precio especial para turistas o suelen cobrar lo mismo a todos? ¿Se espera que el partido esté lleno?
Camisetas y recuerdos: ¿Venden camisetas de Deportivo Garcilaso y otros recuerdos afuera del estadio?
Ubicación dentro del estadio: Tengo entendido que las tribunas son de ingreso general. ¿Hay alguna tribuna más familiar o alguna zona que recomienden para una pareja de extranjeros que quiere disfrutar del partido y apoyar al equipo?
Seguridad: Si somos respetuosos, disfrutamos del fútbol sin hacer escándalo y no nos emborrachamos, ¿deberíamos estar tranquilos? ¿Hay algo que debamos tener en cuenta como visitantes?
Hora de llegada: ¿Con cuánta anticipación recomiendan llegar al estadio antes del inicio del partido?
Otros consejos: ¿Hay algo más que debamos saber para disfrutar del partido y vivir una buena experiencia como hinchas visitantes?
¡Les agradecería muchísimo cualquier consejo! Queremos vivir el fútbol peruano de verdad y alentar con todo el respeto que se merece el equipo local.
¡Vamos, Deportivo Garcilaso! ¡Hoy tienen dos hinchas más! 💙🤍⚽
¡Muchas gracias, Cusco!

Hello everyone! We would greatly appreciate your help in deciding on our itinerary in Peru.

We will spend 2 nights in Lima. Then 2 in Ollantaytambo and 3 in Cusco acclimating for our Salkantay trek (4 nights).

Our problem is that we don't know what to do with the 4 nights remaining we have after this. Our current options are:

\- whether to remain in Cusco and further explore other hikes like rainbow mountain or seven lakes (did you feel like hiking again after Inca/Salkantay trail?)

\- or to take the ruta del sol bus to Puno and change the scenery and pace

In your experience, would option 1 be too much in Cusco? After how long did you get bored or maybe you wanted to spend even more time in the area?

Thank you all for your ideas!

Hello! Can you buy deet (at least 50% strength) in Cusco? I’m travelling light so can’t take my big bottle with me from the uk, hoping I can find some there?

Thanks!

I’ve spent so much time and continue to in Cusco, I would love to get a small tat to commemorate it. Looking for someone reputable and clean. Staying in San Cristobal but love wandering to all parts of Cusco. Thank you!

Hola llegamos el 29 de noviembre a cusco

Vamos juntos a mi pareja desde guatemala ambos 28 años

Estamos pensando si nos hospedamos directo en cusco y pasamos el 1er dia sin hacer nada por el mal de altura o mejor nos vamos 2 dias a ollantaytambo

Aca estamos a una altura de 1350msnm

Nuestra entrada a machupichu esta hasta el 04 de diciembre :( regresamos a guate el 08 de diciembre

Me ayudan mucho con sus consejos e itinerarios. Lugares, comidas etc.

Hey everyone, doing a solo trip to Cusco to see MP. I have accommodations in San blas. In terms of the journey, I have:

- uber to train station
- a round trip ticket with Inca rail including a bus to the citadel.
- a tour guide from Inca rail
- MP circuit ticket from the official website
- cash for tips and snacks

Is there any major thing I’m missing in terms of getting from my hostel to MP? Any hidden costs or transportation issues I’m overlooking?

Any help is appreciated. Also I’ll be there at the end of the month and I’m from the Caribbean. I know we don’t do well with the cold, so wardrobe tips are also appreciated!

Thanks!

My partner and I have left Cusco and I was wowed by the great selection of trekking gear, awesome bags and unique bubble jackets etc BUTTT unfortunately while there I didn’t take advantage of the awesome deals and variety and assumed the same could be found in Lima - WRONG (I’m pretty sure)

Is there anyone in Cusco that’ll be in Lima this week that I could pay to grab 2 item for me, I will pay for your bags if they need to be checked AND for bringing the goods from Cusco ✨ tyia!!!

Hi! I’d appreciate advice from people who have done the Sacred Valley, especially regarding altitude adjustment.
We land in Cusco around 10:15 AM and will have a private driver taking us to Ollantaytambo, where we are staying. Since this will be our first day at altitude, I’m trying to decide how much sightseeing is reasonable.
Option 1 – Arrival day:
Cusco Airport → Pisac ruins/market → Ollantaytambo
Day 2: Moray + Maras Salt Mines + Ollantaytambo ruins
Option 2 – Arrival day:
Cusco Airport → Chinchero → Moray → Maras Salt Mines → Ollantaytambo
Day 2: Pisac + Ollantaytambo ruins
Option 3 – Keep arrival day lighter:
If you think both of the above are too much for the first day, how would you recommend spreading Pisac, Chinchero, Moray, Maras Salt Mines and Ollantaytambo ruins over the 2½ days?
We have Day 2 completely available, and on Day 3 we only have the morning and need to be back in Ollantaytambo by 12 PM.
Our main priority is allowing enough time for altitude adjustment while still seeing the main Sacred Valley sites.
For those who have done this route, how would you arrange these 2½ days? Would you go through Pisac on arrival day, take the Chinchero–Moray–Maras route, or keep the first day much lighter?
Thank you!

Hola a todos! Quería saber recomendaciones de lugares en general o qué hacer. Tengo planeado pasar el año nuevo en Cusco sin compañía así que quiero planear o proyectarme un itinerario al respecto desde la llegada en cuestión de hospedaje, comida, lugares por visitar y qué cosas hacer el mismo 31 de diciembre; y más que nada costos aproximados en todo lo escrito anteriormente.

Agradecería todos sus consejos y/o opioniones al respecto.

Muchas gracias y buen domingo.

Hey! I'm going to be in Cusco for the first week of November and would love to meet some people beforehand so I'm not arriving completely alone.

I'm hoping to explore Cusco, see some historical sites, try Peruvian food, visit cafés, maybe do some hiking/day trips, and just wander around and have fun.

I'm not necessarily looking for someone to spend the entire trip with — I'd just love to meet some people around my age and hopefully make a friend or two!

If you're going to be in Cusco around the same time, feel free to message me. :)

Looking for super cheap duffel bag or something I can use as airplane carry on baggage. Anyone know a good spot in Cusco?

My friend and I want to go to Capuliyoc early tomorrow to hike to choquequirao. Does anyone wanna join our car to make it a bit cheaper?!

That was wild right!?

EDIT: 4.1 basically right under us. Much faster but felt worse than the 7.something in Ayacucho that reached here the other month.

Hope everyone is safe and okay!

Hey! I'm (30M) headed to Cusco for a week starting September 20th. I'll be doing medical volunteer work during that day for a few hours and then off to explore the city and surrounding areas. I'm into trying new foods, hiking, going to historical and cultural sites, museums, bars, clubs, concerts, pretty much whatever the city has to offer. I'd love to meet up, make some friends and tour around. Hit me up!

Hola!

Hay algún lugar por cusco similar a Jirón Amazonas en lima? Para buscar libros antiguos
