\u00a0One of the main destinations in South America is the city of Cusco. The fusion of past and present Peruvian <\/a>c<\/a>ultures <\/a>found in its streets attracts the attention of thousands of tourists and curious visitors. Of course, visiting the Sacred Valley and Machu Picchu<\/a> is a must, and you can’t leave Peru without doing so, but there are many other sites along the way that you shouldn’t miss if you visit this city. To make sure you don’t miss anything, the Cusco Tourist Ticket <\/strong>is available; it’s a wonderful invention that offers different tourist circuits over several days<\/strong>, depending on the traveler’s availability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

General Cusco Tourist Ticket<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The BTC is a personal and non-transferable document that grants temporary access to zones, archaeological monuments, museums, and historical sites that are part of the Nation’s cultural heritage, managed by the Ministry of Culture. These sites are part of the tourist circuits or corridors located within the territorial jurisdiction of the Cusco department, which can be visited for tourism purposes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For travelers staying more than a week in Cusco, we recommend the general ticket. This ticket provides access to 16 of the most amazing places in the city of Cusco<\/a> and its surroundings for 10 days<\/strong>. Needless to say, among these places is, of course, a visit to the Maras Salt Mines and the archaeological site of Moray<\/a>. Other notable destinations include Pisac, Chinchero, Ollantaytambo, and several fascinating museums. Here’s the full list:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
