Why Families Shouldn’t Skip Cusco on a Machu Picchu Trip

More than just a stopping place and staging point for the train trip to Machu Picchu, Cusco is an ancient Inca capital and major city in Colonial Peru. Now a UNESCO World Heritage site, Cusco is the oldest continuously inhabited city in the Americas, and it’s well worth spending a few days here to appreciate the layers of culture from two empires.
