Day 8 Cuzco

Today is free to explore Cuzco, considered the mecca of Peru and rightly so. This beautiful colonial town offers much to the visitor with its nearby ruins, cobble-stoned streets, museums, churches and lively atmosphere. Among the more adventurous optional activities available in Cuzco are: horseback riding around archaeological sites such as Sacsayhuaman, Tambo Machay and Puca Pucara; white water rafting on the Urubamba River; and mountain biking down to the Sacred Valley, perhaps visiting an Inca ruin along the way.

Note: If you have pre-booked the Peru Culinary Theme Pack, your Cuzco cooking class will be today and the Lima cooking class will be on Day 12 (departure day). As this pack does not include extra on-trip time in Lima, it is necessary to bundle it with a pre or post-trip stay.

Approximate Distance: 320km
Estimated Travel Time: 4 hours
