 New Year in Cusco


New year in the capital of the Incas

Let's us show you all the chaos and excitement of the New Year's celebration in Cusco.

Cusco is one of the two most popular places to celebrate New Years in Peru

The city grows in anticipation before christmas leading up to the big night. Tourists from all over Peru, Latin-American, Europe and the world gather in Cusco and fill up the hostels and hotels. Street vendors line the streets, while natives come in from outside the city to sell their crafts and products as well as to experience the festivities.

One of the most interesting things about cruising around the open street markets is seeing all the superstitious tokens Peruvians purchase for the New Years celebration.

Yellow is the color people choose for luck, everything from yellow hats, confettis, flowers and underwears.

Fireworks are everywhere. Kids sold them on the streets, families lit them off as they walk and crazy people shot them at each other and lit them off themselves.

The most amazing thing about the fireworks is watching the sky fill up with multiple colors and explosions for hours from the main square out into the surrounding hills of Cusco.

At midnight, everyone starts running around Plaza de Armas for good luck. Some locals carry around suitcases as they run, which is good luck for traveling in the New Year.

It is the most incredible festivals.
