Sometimes we prefer to travel by ourselves, whether it be for a short period or it\u2019s something we always do. It\u2019s wonderful to have the freedom to do what you want and when you want on your own terms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It can also cause some concern, however, when we go to a new place. Will it be safe?

Due to <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.salkantaytrekking.com\/machu-picchu-tours\/\">Machu Picchu<\/a><\/strong> and many other fantastic spots, Peru has an excellent tourist infrastructure. In fact, it\u2019s one of the best in all of South America. Because of this, it\u2019s fairly easy to get around, and locals are used to seeing visitors everywhere.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are still a few issues, which arise more in the evenings on buses and in unlicensed taxis. Just make sure you are always alert and aware of what surrounds you. Take the same precautions as you would at home and you shouldn\u2019t have any issues at all.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"920\" height=\"613\" src=\"https:\/\/www.salkantaytrekking.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/is-peru-safe-solo-females-cusco-2-1.jpg\" alt=\"Peru and Cusco are safe for solo females\" class=\"wp-image-3131\" style=\"width:920px;height:613px\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-where-to-visit-in-cusco-when-alone\">Where to Visit in Cusco When Alone<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>There are plenty of trips with tour companies you can go on that allow you to make friends along the way. The <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.salkantaytrekking.com\/blog\/the-7-best-treks-to-machu-picchu\/\">treks to Machu Picchu<\/a><\/strong> are great for this! There\u2019s no doubt you\u2019ll be heading there when you\u2019re here, so why not make it an opportunity to socialize while you do it?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The<strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.salkantaytrekking.com\/blog\/10-best-things-to-do-and-see-in-the-sacred-valley\/\">Sacred Valley<\/a> <\/strong>is a wonderful place and there are a few towns that are well worth the visit. Try to at least make it to Pisac and Ollantaytambo, as well as a handful of the villages in between. You can feel the magic of the place and it\u2019s just adorable and very quaint. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the city of<strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.salkantaytrekking.com\/blog\/the-11-best-day-trips-from-cusco-peru\/\">Cusco<\/a><\/strong> itself, there are many museums to visit as well as trying out some of the local chocolate or very tasty <a href=\"https:\/\/www.salkantaytrekking.com\/blog\/java-bust-what-makes-peruvian-coffee-worlds-very-best\/\"><strong>Peruvian coffee<\/strong><\/a>. We also recommend that you try a new eating spot each day as there are hundreds of great places to choose from.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can visit virtually anywhere in the city when you\u2019re alone. Just be wary when heading away from the center and check with locals that it\u2019s ok to head to certain areas before you go. Your host or the person at your hotel reception should have some good advice.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"920\" height=\"613\" src=\"https:\/\/www.salkantaytrekking.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/where-visit-cusco-when-alone-female-1.jpg\" alt=\"Where to Visit in Cusco When Alone\" class=\"wp-image-3132\" style=\"width:920px;height:613px\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-how-to-travel-safely-by-yourself\">How to Travel Safely By Yourself<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Getting to and from <strong>Cusco <\/strong>can be done in a few different ways. Let\u2019s take a look at each one to help you make the best decisions when traveling alone. We\u2019ll also check options for getting around the city easily and securely.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Flying in Peru \u2013 <\/strong>There\u2019s no doubt that flying is the quickest option. However, flights within the country are very expensive, so if you\u2019re backpacking around, this might not suit your budget.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You also need to keep in mind that if you are flying into Cusco, you will likely feel the effects of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.salkantaytrekking.com\/blog\/how-to-help-altitude-sickness-in-cusco-and-peru\/\"><strong>altitude<\/strong><\/a> a little more. Before trekking, you should spend a couple of days in the city to acclimatize before you head off.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1008\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/www.salkantaytrekking.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/plane-1008x1024.jpg\" alt=\"Plane\" class=\"wp-image-4058\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Trains in Peru \u2013 <\/strong>Travelling by train isn\u2019t such an easy option, and only a few places are accessible this way. There is a line from Cusco to Machu Picchu, though, so if you\u2019re only planning a day or two there, this is the quickest and safest option.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"684\" src=\"https:\/\/www.salkantaytrekking.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/The-Vistadome-Train-PeruRail-1024x684.jpg\" alt=\"The Vistadome Train PeruRail\" class=\"wp-image-4001\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Buses in Peru \u2013 <\/strong>This is a very common way for the nationals to get from one city to another. The prices are more economical, but it can take an overnight ride to get there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Be aware when booking regarding the reputation of the company. Some are much better than others, and you\u2019ll want to go with the ones that are a little more upmarket to make sure you\u2019re safe. <em>Cruz del Sur <\/em>is the best in <strong>Peru <\/strong>and they travel to various locations from <strong>Cusco<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There\u2019s also a bus company called <em>Peru Hop<\/em> that is fantastic for those who want to visit a lot of places with a high-security level. They include an English-speaking guide and you can hop on and off at any location you like.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"662\" src=\"https:\/\/www.salkantaytrekking.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/Bus-1024x662.jpg\" alt=\"Bus\" class=\"wp-image-4057\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Taxis in Peru \u2013 <\/strong>There are plenty of unlicensed taxis around. You can often spot them, but not always. It\u2019s best to get the number of a good company and always use them. Just ask the people at the reception in your hotel or hostel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you have the <em>Uber app<\/em>, they now operate in Cusco and this is probably the safest way to go. It works just the same as it does everywhere else, so for those who are familiar with it, use it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Walking Around Peru<\/strong> &#8211; In many places around the country, especially city centers, it\u2019s easy to walk around to the main points of interest. There are also bars, restaurants, banks, shops, and any amenity you can think of in these parts, so if you really want to save some cash, walking is the best option and very feasible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"819\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/www.salkantaytrekking.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/11.-@marcus_wallis-salkantay-trek-trekking-mountain-andean-819x1024.jpg\" alt=\"Walking around Salkantay Pass\" class=\"wp-image-1012\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Photo by: @marcus_wallis<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-where-to-stay-as-a-solo-female-traveler\">Where to Stay as a solo female traveler<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If it\u2019s within your budget, there are a lot of options around and many nice hotels. However, a lot of solo travelers are looking for more economical options, which means hostels. There are various types in <strong>Cusco <\/strong>such as partying <strong>hostels <\/strong>or quieter ones.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You\u2019ll also find some with private rooms and others with dorms to share. So, this is up to you to find the best place. Accommodation tends to be safe and secure in the city and many places have rooms to keep your luggage while you travel to other places.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>AirBnb<\/em><strong> <\/strong>has also taken off big in <strong>Cusco<\/strong>. If you are a fan then you will find some lovely apartments or rooms around the city for a very reasonable price. You can see the host so can stay with female-run homes if you prefer. You also get to see what others have said about the place you are looking at, which is a great option.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Neighborhoods<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>When looking for the best neighborhoods to stay in, keeping near the center is the best option. Here, you\u2019ll be close to all the main attractions and have a wide variety of places to eat and drink as well as access to banks and shops. <em>San Blas<\/em> is a popular part of town and is very bohemian. They have lots of reasonably priced hostels, hotels, and apartments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The <strong>Plaza de Armas<\/strong> is the center of the whole city and is a top spot to stay in, too. However, being right in the main square means you will pay a little more.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you prefer to head out of the center and still have everything you need nearby, <em>Magisterio <\/em>is one of the nicer parts of town, as is the surrounding area. You\u2019ll be near the mall where you\u2019ll find everything you need, as well as be close to other restaurants, shops, and plenty of supermarkets.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"920\" height=\"920\" src=\"https:\/\/www.salkantaytrekking.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/where-stay-female-solo-traveller-cusco-1.jpg\" alt=\"Where to Stay as a Female Solo Traveller, Cuzco\" class=\"wp-image-3134\" style=\"width:920px;height:920px\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-tips-to-enjoy-your-travels-as-a-solo-female\">Tips to Enjoy Your Travels as a Solo Female<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.salkantaytrekking.com\/blog\/how-i-learned-spanish-in-cusco-peru\/\">Learn a bit of Spanish<\/a><\/strong> \u2013 You don\u2019t need to be an expert, but learning a bit is fun and the locals will appreciate it. Of course, in the center in restaurants and on tours the people speak a bit of English. However, if you plan to go to the market, it\u2019s good to know a little something.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Take advantage of the fact that you are alone to take some private or group lessons so that you can advance quickly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Don\u2019t be surprised by attention \u2013 <\/strong>The Peruvians rarely travel alone, especially if they are female. So you may get a few looks from fascinated locals. They don\u2019t mean any harm, though, and in Cusco, there are plenty of tourists, so it isn\u2019t as hard to fit in here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Don\u2019t walk alone after dark \u2013 <\/strong>This is probably the same in your home country. The later it gets, the better it is to walk accompanied or get a taxi door to door. Just be a little street smart and take the right precautions.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Make sure you\u2019re insured \u2013 <\/strong>We strongly recommend having travel insurance. You may not need it, but healthcare here is very expensive and they\u2019ll likely charge you a hefty amount knowing that you are from overseas. An adventure type of insurance will cover all activities you do. It\u2019s better to be safe than sorry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Take some time to volunteer \u2013 <\/strong>If you have the extra time, this is a wonderful thing to do. Whether it be visiting small rural villages with donations or handing out food or teaching a bit of English, you\u2019ll be helping out the local community. Many people aren\u2019t as fortunate as you, and giving them a bit of aid when you have time will make them and you feel good.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Enjoy the freedom &#8211; <\/strong>Traveling alone means you have the <strong>freedom<\/strong> to do absolutely anything you wish. Don\u2019t let anything hold you back and make sure you book the activities you always wanted and don\u2019t be afraid to make new friends.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Be confident &#8211; <\/strong>Make sure you walk with confidence and show it in everything you do. Locals can easily spot tourists who look disorientated, and these might be easier targets for pickpockets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Have a plan &#8211; <\/strong>It\u2019s exciting, stepping out into the world all by yourself and doing as you please. However, it\u2019s still always best to have a plan and stick to it whenever possible. This way, you can make sure friends and family back home know where you\u2019re going to be heading and you can keep checking in to let them know all is ok.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"920\" height=\"920\" src=\"https:\/\/www.salkantaytrekking.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/tips-enjoy-your-travels-solo-female-1.jpg\" alt=\"Enjoy Your Travels as a Solo Female, Cusco\" class=\"wp-image-3135\" style=\"width:920px;height:920px\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-solo-female-travel-in-cusco-checklist\">Solo female travel in Cusco Checklist\u00a0<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"anchor-links\"><strong>Things to Keep in Mind When Traveling Alone<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Keep all valuables close to you and in places where they can\u2019t easily be taken.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Only carry a small amount of cash on you at any time.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Don\u2019t flash expensive items around.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Don\u2019t put important items in your back pockets.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Dress casually to not draw too much attention to yourself.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Keep photocopies of all your important documents safe.
