Cusco & Machu Picchu Vacation Travel Guide | Expedia
Cusco & Machu Picchu – In Cusco and the Sacred Valley, magnificent ruins await the adventurous traveler. The most famous of all is Machu Picchu. Follow us through this incredible region!
When ready, browse vacation packages to Cusco:
Step through time and worlds with a #vacation to #Cusco, the former capital of the Inca Empire of the Sun. Since the 16th century, Spanish colonial buildings were built atop former Inca Palaces, of which only foundations remain.
In the Urubamba Valley, or #SacredValley, visitors can see the mysterious Moray Terraces and the pre-Inca Salt Mines of Maras. Ollantaytambo is a living Inca city and its towering ruins form the start of the Inca Trail to #MachuPicchu.
The long-lost Inca bastion was uncovered from the jungle in 1911. It remains a mystery how the Incas managed to stack the heavy granite blocks that make up the city’s buildings so precisely, at high altitude.
Little is also known about how the Incas turned a multi-lingual tribal region in an empire that is now known as one of the greatest civilizations in history.
For now, we hope you enjoy watching this #travel #guide as much as we enjoyed making it.

Song Brazil composed and recorded by Baxter
Funny story, if you repeat A-G (musical notes) over the alphabet...the letter P is B maj. So...another song in relative B Major for Peru! Intro/verse is B Ionian, build up is G# Aeolian. Outro is also G# Aeolian, but for the first time I wrote in a Picardy third. In the outro, I drop the major 3rd over G# to a minor 3rd. I thought this felt right because of the bitter sweetness of our grand adventure coming to and end. Like the other South American scores, I used alternative tuning, DADF#AD for the finger picking. All the other instruments are digital, played from a keyboard.

Peru Travel : Machu Picchu and Cusco
Nestled behind heavy green pastures, Peru’s Machu Picchu allows travelers to literally walk into history. As Peru’s most popular historical site, many tourists flock to the country simply to experience the history of this Inca settlement.
Existing for centuries, the artifacts of Peru’s former Inca Empire can still be found while hiking these grounds. One of the main focal points of Machu Picchu, the Temple of the Sun serves a central role during Peru’s summer solstice. During this time, the sun shines directly through the temple, in complete symmetry with the peak of a nearby mountain.
With a proximity of 50 miles from nearby Cusco, this 15th century stone settlement can be found deep in a high valley, surrounded by the Andes mountains. Many tourists often wonder how to get to Machu Picchu without scaling dangerous mountains in the process.
Modern tourists are transported to the Inca stronghold through a four hour train ride and a handful of miles walking along a road built within the mountains. Many backpackers opt for the traditional weeklong hike through the Inca Trail in order to reach this breathtaking destination.
Tourists will notice the over 700 terraces still present at Machu Picchu. These terraces were used for soil preservation, agricultural pursuits and to distribute water throughout the settlement. Terraces also assisted in water conservation and decreased the chance of erosion to the settlement.
Travelers to the region also make a stop in Cusco a must on their to do list. In Cusco, tourists will notice the fusion of ancient Andean culture with the fingerprints of Spain’s colonial conquest of the country. Today, Cusco serves as a must see tourist destination for travelers, with many ruins and natural wonders to be enjoyed while in Peru.
Peru Trip - Cusco, Skylodge, Machu Picchu, Sacred Valley - April
Amazing trip around the Sacred Valley in Peru. Spent a few nights in Cusco, then drove to the sacred valley where we stayed 1 night in the Skylodge Adventure Suites where we had to climb 1200 feet straight up via ferrata style to reach our pod that was suspended on the side of a mountain. We then zip lined back down the next day! Explored the sacred valley over the next few days, ending at Machu Picchu. Amazing!

Originally from Nashville, Tennessee, we got married June 2013 and quickly caught the travel bug! We started traveling full-time January 10, 2016. While daily vlogging was not the original plan, we were having way too many cool experiences not to share every single day! Now travel vlogging is our full-time gig and we feel like we have the greatest job in the world! We are incredibly thankful to do something we love every day. :)
We’ve pulled inspiration from several of our favorite travel vloggers on YouTube, such as: +CaseyNeistat +FunForLouis +Jon Olsson +Mr Ben Brown , and any other talented travel vloggers that YouTube’s algorithm will hopefully connect us with ;)
