There are a lot of hotels available in Cusco, some of which do not have hot water!! Others claim to have hot water which is really lukewarm and limited. When choosing a hotel, ask if hot water is available and if it is available 24/7. If hot water is not important to you, then no worries! :) Leave a Comment

Locals who want you to take their picture, or offer to take a picture for you, are usually not doing it for free, hint hint ;) Leave a Comment

This local travel agency 'organises' trips to Chivay and Maras. In fact what they do is take your money and simply give a cut to a local taxi driver, who can barely speak English. They do not provide proper tours that we could see. The address is Portal Commercio 187.
If you speak Spanish, you're better off trying to find a frindly taxi driver yourself. Shop around, there are plenty of agencies in Cuzco! The going rate for a half day tour of the Maras Salinas and the round terraces of Moray was 100 soles pp in 2005.
See above or try your hotel. Leave a Comment

When you land in Cusco you will notice men dressed in shirts and ties offering to carry your bags (they will usually be holding onto a trolley). When your bags come on the baggage carousel, they will take them off and then take you outside, usually to a taxi driver they know. You have to pay around US$2.
They can sometimes be very pushy, so just make sure you have the approproate phrases in Spanish if this is something you do not wish to have. Leave a Comment

 from Hotel Libertadores view, center of Cuzco by vero_salazar Can you believe it? Im peruvian, so I must know it all about this kind of things..but I went to Cuzco with a friend, and a guy offered us to drive all the way to the hotel..was ok, but in the way he started to offer taking us to the sacred valley, then to get us train tickets...completely tricked us, send his daughter..yeah, he called the daughter and she was in the car too, they bought us tickets 20$ more than original price, alleging they were all sold..yeah..we felt in the trap...
so next time, go straight to the rail company and use regular tourist transportation..and well keep the taxi driver conversation just short...
