You will need at least 2 whole days to see Cusco and its nearby surrounds, but be warned, it is hard to leave, and why should you leave so soon when one of the world's truly marvelous sites, Machu Picchu, is only a train ride away. Or take a 4 day hike on the famous Inca trail or Inca Jungle (Bike & Hike).
