It conjures up images of mountains and a fairly cool temperature. What many visitors don\u2019t realize is that Cusco also has a jungle, and it\u2019s only a few hours\u2019 drives from the city. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you want\nto visit a more tropical climate while you\u2019re here, La Convencion is an\nexcellent choice. It\u2019s a great place to relax and see many species of animals\nthat you don\u2019t get to see in the highlands in and around Cusco. So, sit back\nand read on to find out what to do in the city of eternal summer. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Visit the Waterfalls<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The natural beauty around this city is stunning.

Cremoladas are\nextremely popular with the locals. They are made from fresh fruit that\u2019s been\nfrozen and then blended for a nice slushy cool snack.

You can also pay for it all to yourself, as it isn\u2019t too expensive. Otherwise, you can go to a shared van or bus. These are more economical but can take a few more hours. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Things to Keep in Mind<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Remember\nthat La Convencion is a hot place, so you\u2019ll want to take thin clothing to stay\ncool. Mosquitos are often buzzing around, so be sure to take repellent and any\nother precautions. The city is small, so you won\u2019t find as many restaurants as\nin Cusco. As long as you\u2019re prepared you\u2019ll have a great time! Oh, and don\u2019t\nforget your swimsuit!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.salkantaytrekking.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/how-get-there-things-do-convencion-jungle-city-cusco-quillabamba.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3465\" width=\"920\" height=\"614\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Visit the City of Eternal Summer<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Cusco is a\nfantastic city and there\u2019s a lot to do, but if you want to head out and explore\nthe jungle, La Convencion is the place to go.
