Best Photo Spots in Cusco

Cusco, located in the heart of the Andes Mountains in Peru, is a photographer's paradise, where ancient history, vibrant culture, and stunning landscapes converge. The city's cobblestone streets, well-preserved colonial architecture, and bustling markets offer a rich tapestry for street and cultural photography. The historic sites, such as the Coricancha and the formidable Sacsayhuaman fortress, provide opportunities for capturing the monumental legacy of the Inca Empire. Cusco's surrounding landscapes, from the Sacred Valley to the high-altitude plateaus, create breathtaking backdrops for landscape and adventure photography. Whether you're documenting the colorful fiestas, the intricate details of Inca stonework, or the striking vistas from the Andean peaks, Cusco is a versatile and visually captivating destination that celebrates the rich heritage and natural beauty of the Peruvian Andes.

Working with Marco was a sheer pleasure. He's friendly, experienced and clearly knows what he's doing.

Made the surprise proposal a huge success!-MichalView Photographer profile
Marco did an excellent job communicating the photo shoot and plans beforehand, blending in with the crowd while at Machu Picchu, and capturing some very special moments in the beautifully scenic area.

I would definitely recommend Marco!-LucasView Photographer profile
Marco made this shoot happen despite some logistical issues, and I'm so grateful for him. We love just about every photo and have already bought a bunch beyond the included downloads.

It was such a pleasure getting to know him throughout the day. Not only is Marco a skilled professional, he's a kind, genuine, and interesting person. Thanks again for capturing these moments so beautifully!-KateView Photographer profile
Working with Marco as our photographer for our surprise proposal at Machu Picchu was an incredible experience. His professionalism and friendly demeanor made planning a breeze, as he communicated every detail and coordinated with our tour guide to ensure everything was perfect. When it came time for the proposal, he was perfectly positioned to capture the moment as I knelt down to ask my partner to marry me, and the photos beautifully encapsulated the joy and emotion of that unforgettable day. Marco's warm personality made us feel comfortable in front of the camera, and we were thrilled with how quickly he delivered our stunning edited photos, each filled with genuine emotion. I highly recommend Marco to anyone looking to capture their special moments at Machu Picchu or elsewhere; his expertise and kindness truly made our surprise proposal a resounding success!-AyushView Photographer profile
Very nice pictures and Marco showed nice places to capture beautiful pictures. Thank you, Marco!-ManalView Photographer profile
My fiancé and I had the best experience with Marco as our photographer. He certainly made this special moment of our lives even more special.

The entire time spent with him was so effortless and professional. We still can't believe he managed to click such beautiful photos with minimum instructions. He is truly a talented photographer.

We would definitely recommend him and the Local Lens to anyone who is looking for a straightforward booking process and an uncomplicated shooting experience.-JonathanView Photographer profile
Marco was absolutely amazing. I am so grateful I found him, and I highly recommend using his services to capture your memories! Also the pictures were edited and returned so quickly!!!-ChelseaView Photographer profile
Marco was UNBELIEVABLE. He was kind, knowledgeable, and the perfect mix of letting us do the things we liked while offering wonderful local suggestions and locations. He was wonderfully sweet and attentive throughout the shoot, and then - more importantly, if you’re looking to book - the pictures turned out AMAZING! He’s absolutely got that magic touch. He’s a third generation photographer in Cusco, so about as expert as you can get. We cannot recommend him enough - we had an amazing time and received an amazing product. We are SO happy we went with Marco!-John & VictoriaView Photographer profile
