With 5 days in Cusco, you'll have time to experience the city's highlights. Beyond the ruins, Cusco pulses with a vibrant, contemporary Andean culture. The San Pedro Market explodes with color—mountains of native potatoes, piles of coca leaves, and women in traditional *pollera* skirts selling *chicha* (fermented corn drink).

  • 3The local currency is Peruvian Sol (PEN). Carry some cash for small vendors and markets.
  • 4A few words in Spanish go a long way with locals. Even "please" and "thank you" will earn smiles.
