About Cusco, Peru

Perched 11,000 feet high in the southwestern Andes, Cusco is known as the archeological capital of the Americas. The city has long made a name for itself as the gateway to nearby Machu Picchu and the Inca Trail. Every narrow street and lane of Cusco emanates history as traces of ancient Incan culture and the town's colonial past provide an intriguing backdrop for the contemporary buildings and modern conveniences of an international tourist destination.
Due to its high elevation, Cusco is chilly at night and sunny but cool during the day all year round. This pleasant weather is a great excuse to walk through the illustrious Plaza de Armas or to seek out the many markets selling the beautiful wool sweaters for which the country is renowned. Whether TEFL training, teaching English classes, investigating the area's archeological charms, or just hanging out around town, you'll be sure to soak up plenty of the cultural richness of Cusco.
