Is <b>Cusco on your itinerary<\/b>? <\/p>\n<p>We are sure it is. Cusco is one of the most popular cities in Peru. Since it is the <b>former capital of the Inca Empire<\/b>, it is a city with a lot of <b>cultural richness<\/b>, as well as its surroundings.<\/p>\n<p>If you plan to travel here and <b>don&#8217;t have much time<\/b>, in this post we will show you our <b>guide to Cusco in 3 days<\/b>.<\/p>\n<h2>Precautions before traveling to Cusco<\/h2>\n<p>Before <b>traveling to Cusco<\/b>, you should know that this city is located <b>3,399 meters above sea level<\/b>. When you are <b>above 2,000 meters<\/b>, if your <b>body is not adapted to these heights<\/b>, it is common to suffer from the so-called <a title=\"What is altitude sickness\" href=\"https:\/\/blog.howlanders.com\/en\/travel-tips\/altitude-sickness-symptoms-treatment\/\">altitude sickness<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>This is why every precaution is too little. You don&#8217;t want to get to Cusco and then not be able to get out of bed&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>As main recommendations, <b>don&#8217;t eat heavy food<\/b>. If you have never tried the <a title=\"Typical Peruvian gastronomy\" href=\"https:\/\/blog.howlanders.com\/en\/peru\/peruvian-food\/\">Peruvian gastronomy<\/a> before, this may not be the best time to do so. Reserve this option for places at lower altitudes, such as the <a title=\"Iquitos Amazon jungle tour\" href=\"https:\/\/www.howlanders.com\/en\/tours-peru\/iquitos\/iquitos-jungle\">Iquitos jungle<\/a>, or in Puno, on the <a title=\"Lake Titicaca Peru tour\" href=\"https:\/\/www.howlanders.com\/en\/tours-peru\/puno\/lake-titicaca\">Lake Titicaca tour<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Another of the main recommendations is <b>no heavy activities<\/b>, especially on the <b>first day of arrival in the city<\/b>. In case of doing any <a title=\"Tours from Cusco\" href=\"https:\/\/www.howlanders.com\/en\/tours-peru\/cusco\">tour in Cusco<\/a> that is <b>physically demanding<\/b>, it is <b>better to do it the day after arrival<\/b>, since you will surely have <b>adapted your body to the place<\/b>.<\/p>\n<p>It is also recommended to <b>drink plenty of water<\/b>, <b>do not drink alcoholic beverages<\/b>, and <b>get adequate rest<\/b>. Let&#8217;s say, the opposite of what you would do on a trip to a party destination.<\/p>\n<p>Once we have given you our recommendations to make the most of your visit to Cusco, we show you our <b>travel guide to Cusco in 3 days<\/b>.<\/p>\n<h2>Guide to Cusco in 3 days<\/h2>\n<h3>Day 1. Cusco Tour<\/h3>\n<p>As we have already explained, the best thing to do during this day is not to do any heavy activity.<\/p>\n<p>Considering that you are only going to have 3 days to enjoy this area, it is <b>important to be able to take advantage of every moment here<\/b>.<\/p>\n<p>Our recommendation is that you <b>arrive as early as possible to the city of Cusco<\/b>, so you can <b>take advantage of the day<\/b>.<\/p>\n<p>To start the day off right, we suggest you take a <a title=\"Cusco city tour\" href=\"https:\/\/www.howlanders.com\/en\/tours-peru\/cusco\/cusco-city-tour\">city tour of Cusco<\/a>, to discover the most important places in the city.<\/p>\n<p>Through it, you can visit the main <b>archaeological sites of the Incas<\/b>, such as <b>Sacsayhuaman, Qenko, Puka Pukara, and Tambomachay<\/b>.<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" title=\"Sacsayhuaman archaeological site\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.howlanders.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/archaeological-site-sacsayhuaman.jpg?resize=640%2C310&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"peruvian animals in archaeological ruins background\" width=\"640\" height=\"310\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-16512\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.howlanders.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/archaeological-site-sacsayhuaman.jpg?w=825&amp;ssl=1 825w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.howlanders.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/archaeological-site-sacsayhuaman.jpg?resize=768%2C372&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.howlanders.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/archaeological-site-sacsayhuaman.jpg?resize=124%2C60&amp;ssl=1 124w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>These sites are very close to the city, so it won&#8217;t take you long to visit them all.<\/p>\n<p>Once back in the city, the tour continues in the <b>traditional markets of Cusco<\/b> to enjoy the local traditions.<\/p>\n<p>When this tour ends, it will be time for lunch.

Machu Picchu<\/h3>\n<p>We already told you that 3 days are too few to visit Cusco. The most popular is the <a title=\"Machu Picchu and Sacred Valley Tour\" href=\"https:\/\/www.howlanders.com\/en\/tours-peru\/cusco\/sacred-valley-machu-picchu\">tour to Machu Picchu<\/a>. The problem with these <b>excursions<\/b>, is that most are <b>several days<\/b>, such as the <a title=\"Inca Trail 4 days to Machu Picchu\" href=\"https:\/\/www.howlanders.com\/en\/tours-peru\/cusco\/inca-trail-4d\">Inca Trail<\/a> or the <a title=\"Salkantay Trek to Machu Picchu\" href=\"https:\/\/www.howlanders.com\/en\/tours-peru\/cusco\/salkantay-trek\">Salkantay Trek<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>As in your case, it will not be possible due to lack of days, you can also do the <a title=\"Machu Picchu in 1 day\" href=\"https:\/\/www.howlanders.com\/en\/tours-peru\/cusco\/machu-picchu-one-day\">Machu Picchu tour in 1 day<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Be prepared to <b>get up early<\/b>, because at 4 a.m. you will be picked up by bus heading to <b>Machu Picchu<\/b>.
