Cusco is really a very nice place to spend a few days and organize some trips in and around the city. The atmosphere is great, there are a lot of good restaurants, plenty of travel agents, good bars and also some interesting sights.
There are plenty of things to do in Cusco. Just wandering around the city, do some shopping can be nice, although the souvenir shops will soon become boring as they all sell the same stuff.
If you want to visit some historical sights, buy first your "Boleto touristico". This costs 10$ (5 for students), and gives you entrance to plenty of historical buildings (like the Cathedral), some museums (but not the Inca museum), and some ruins like Sacsayhuaman and also ruins in the Sacred Valley like Pisac and Ollantaytambo. It's only valid for 10 days, but you can get an extension of 3 days starting from the day you ask if you present yourself at the OFEC office on Av. El Sol with your passport. however, this extension excludes the cathedral, so visit that one during your initial 10-day period.
