The New Year is a time of reflection, celebration, and fresh starts. Imagine ringing in 2025 surrounded by majestic mountains, vibrant traditions, and spiritual energy. Cusco, the heart of the Andes, offers a magical experience that makes it the ultimate destination for this special occasion. Here’s why your New Year should start in Cusco:

1. A city pulsing with spiritual energy

Cusco is more than a historical wonder; it’s a place of profound spiritual significance. In Andean culture, the New Year marks a rebirth—an opportunity to reconnect with nature and reset your intentions. Celebrating in Cusco allows you to embrace this fresh start with positive energy and a deep connection to Pachamama (Mother Earth).

2. Unique traditions and vibrant festivities

New Year’s Eve in Cusco is a joyful blend of ancient Andean customs and modern celebrations. A popular tradition is wearing yellow for good luck—especially yellow underwear! The Plaza de Armas transforms into a lively hub of music, dancing, and celebration, uniting locals and travelers in a shared moment of joy and renewal.

3. Mesmerizing fireworks over the Andes

When the clock strikes midnight, Cusco lights up with spectacular fireworks displays. Whether you’re in the bustling Plaza de Armas or enjoying the view from scenic spots like San Blas or Cristo Blanco, the sight of fireworks against the Andean skyline is truly unforgettable.

4. Culinary delights to savor the celebration

Cusco’s gastronomy is another highlight of New Year’s celebrations. Feast on traditional dishes like roasted pork, tamales, and indulge in sweet treats like hot chocolate and Andean panettone. Starting the year with these local flavors will make your celebration even more memorable.

5. Adventures await in the Sacred Valley

Extend your stay and explore the Sacred Valley, a short drive from Cusco.
