It’s time to start dreaming of your next trip. Here’s some destination inspiration for you. Take a visual journey through Cusco, Peru, with us.
It’s almost impossible to miss the vibrant, bold colors of the women in their dresses as they walk the city with alpacas (and sometimes other animals). The women’s dresses are an integral part of the culture, and tourists are encouraged to take photos and smile with them and the animals. © Sl Photography | Dreamstime.com
The main public space of Cusco since before its Spanish founding in 1534, Plaza de Armas of Cuzco was once surrounded by Incan palaces. Today, restaurants, stores, two temples and a cathedral form the plaza, which hosts folkloric festivals throughout the year. © Emicristea | Dreamstime.com
A UNESCO World Heritage site and considered one of the most famous landmarks in the world, Machu Picchu sits about 50 miles northwest of Cusco. Dating to around the 15th century, this Incan site sits in the Eastern Cordillera of the Andes mountains. This popular tourist destination is highly preserved and can be accessed via cable car or, for the adventurous, steep trails. © Emicristea | Dreamstime.com
The Quechua people are indigenous to Peru and its neighboring countries. The main language of the Inca Empire was Quechua, showing just how old and sacred this culture is. You can spot traditional Quechua Peruvian indigenous attire by the colorful capes, shawls, and embroidered skirts and hats. © Sl Photography | Dreamstime.com
Originally known as Vinicunca, Rainbow Mountain gets its name from the colorful stripes of minerals. Located about 60 miles from Cusco, various agencies offer tours and hikes of this stunning mountain. © Sorin Colac | Dreamstime.com
Qorikancha, in the heart of Cusco, was once an important temple in the Inca Empire. Honoring the Incan god Inti, the temple was built around the late 15th century. Head to the nearby underground archaeological museum to view mummies, textiles and sacred objects found at the site. © Sl Photography | Dreamstime.com
Because of its popularity, several trains connect Cusco with the base of Macchu Picchu, providing tourists an easy way to visit the historic site. Taking a train to the site is ideal, as it offers views of the countryside and landscape along the way. © Alejandro Gherardi | Dreamstime.com

Nov 13, 2026Venture Deep Into the Domain of Bengal Tigers in India
"Tyger, Tyger burning bright / In the forests of the night,” wrote William Blake in 1794, having only ever seen a tiger in a London menagerie. But his famous lines immediately sprang to mind when I saw my first wild tiger in Bandhavgarh National Park in central India. “Burning bright” was the perfect description. In twilight, the big cat’s stripes flickered in the long grass like flames.
