Christmas in Cusco!
Now you've got your day plan figured out... what are the plans on Christmas Eve? We will be taking a break for a couple of weeks, but we'll be back in January! In the meantime, here are a few options
for those spending Christmas in Cusco....remember that Peruvians have Christmas
