Cuzco has some of the best options for hiking in of Peru. Perhaps the best-known is the Inca Trail to Machu Picchu, as the ending point is the famously mysterious city in the sky. Machu Picchu is an anomaly because it's an entire city built dangerously atop of the Andes. Several daunting questions surround the existence of this place, and if you would like to experience it for yourself, Cuzco can serve as your launching point.
Take a train from Cuzco to the bottom of the trail, and expect to be hiking for a couple of days before reaching Machu Picchu. For this reason, don't forget to bring camping gear, and make sure you are acclimatized to the altitude.
The Moray Incas trek is a shorter option for hiking from Cuzco, as it takes two days and also leads you through the towns of Moras, Moray, and to the salt pans of Salineras. If you arrange your trip through HikingPeru.com, you receive several accommodations, including a guide, and lodging.
If you're looking for something even shorter, then perhaps you should try the Sacred Valley, as it features several routes that only take a few hours, such as the Pumamarca ruins and the mountain of Pinculluna. These places also offer exciting opportunities to learn about the Incas!
