3 Things to Do When You Visit Cusco
- Visit Machu Picchu
Machu Picchu is an unforgettable place; somewhere you would never regret experiencing. There you can go over the footsteps of the Incas, learn about their culture and their very successful empire.
Your journey will start hiking up many stairs and once you are up there you will feel like you are on top of the world. You will see the many temples built by the Incas themselves, you will be astonished by how driven and intelligent their techniques were. You will feel like a newborn child because of the experience you’ve lost.
I recommend seeing the temple of the dead, which the rocks of the temple are in form of a ginormous condor. Machu Picchu also gives you the chance to see the enchanting paradise of ancient history.
The most important things to the Incas were the details. In the walls they staked the plane rocks to make them stay up. Another technique was to paste them together with a type of mix.
- Do some community and service
Why not doing some community and service. It can be fun and entertaining. When I visited Cusco with my grade level, we went to an orphanage. I had no experience playing with orphan kids. However, I would definitely do again in my life.
I was the “godmother” of a girl named Nayelli. She was 7 years old. I thought I was going to scare her because I am not good with kids. When I met her, we had a strong bond. We played, run and talked all day long.
I recommend going to visit kids and playing with them. It will be a remarkable experience and you will not regret not going there again.
A lot of my friends got really sad when we went away. I did not cry because most of the time it was joy and charm to be there with Nayelli.
The feeling that you will feel after will be the greatest thing you have felt in your trip. That feeling will make you remember about Cuzco or the kids there.
You can help paint houses, play with kids or even just give supplies.
- Buy some Cusco pants
When you visit Cusco, I recommend you to buy some Cusco pants. The weather in Cusco is very strange sometimes it’s sunny and sometimes its cold. Cusco pants are the perfect pants for that weather plus they are very comfortable.
I bought two Cusco pants and I wore them all the time. Now that I went away, I still use them like sweatpants. You can also use them when it's rainy like in “la selva” (the jungle) or any place else.
