Cusco, Peru, 7 Days Itinerary: Top Attractions On A DIY Road Trip

Описание: I am aware that not many foreigners choose to rent a car and drive to the top attractions around Cusco by themselves. But I am a free spirit and only choose organised trips when that’s the only option for seeing a place.

I am a firm believer that the best way to experience a culture is to immerse yourself in it and experience it first-hand.

I hope this Cusco road trip itinerary helps you plan your trip in Peru and gives you some courage to organise most of your trip by yourself.
