Located in the Andes Mountains, at 3,399 meters (11,152 feet) above sea level, lies the historic city of Cusco. Once the capital of the Inca empire, Cusco is now home to Spanish Colonial architecture, Inca ruins, narrow cobblestone streets, a taste of Andean cuisine, beautiful cafes, and so much more! In today's video, we bring you along as we spend one day exploring the city. And huffing and puffing up its many steps. 😅 🇵🇪 Read our guide with the best things to do in Cusco: https://adventuresofaplusk.com/things-to-do-in-cusco-peru/ 📅 This video was filmed in late September 2024 📍Locations in this video https://www.google.com/maps/d/u/1/edit?mid=1IWZ08dLQgCMkVUUWmI5olnV0Lz3vT5M&usp=sharing ⌚Timestamps 00:00 Introduction 00:57 First impressions of Cusco so far 01:20 There are SO many steps! 02:20 Amazing view of the city! 02:52 Our favorite electrolyte drink mix!
