Cusco, the Inca capital. It’s such a beautiful city! The streets are narrow and made of cobblestones, and the architecture is very unique—a mix of Inca and colonial styles. It’s such a pleasure to just wander around and discover everything.
After spending a day just enjoying the city, I decided to head out and explore some of the famous spots nearby. First stop: Rainbow Mountain 🌈! It got its name from colorful stripes which are layers of sedimentary rock that have been exposed over millions of years, each color coming from a different mineral. The altitude is over 5,000 meters. And I was super happy to run into some friendly alpacas along the way!
Another important stop near Cusco is the Sacred Valley. Known for its stunning landscapes, traditional villages, and Incan archaeological sites, this valley has a very special feel.
