Advertise on cusco.tips
By the time a traveler walks through your door, they've already picked you on their phone.
It happened the night before, back at the hotel, still a little dizzy from the altitude, scrolling through "things to do in Cusco" or "where to eat in San Blas". That's the moment they decide whether tomorrow they'll order a coffee at your place, book a tour with your agency, or walk right past.
cusco.tips is that guide. And now your business can be part of it, right on the page where the decision gets made.
A story that started in 2010
I'm Jaime Yáñez, born and raised in Cusco. In 2010 I launched Cusco Guía, first as a website and then as an Android and iOS app, back when carrying Cusco in your pocket was still something new. Since then, with Cusco Guía, we've helped more than 12 million travelers from all over the world, and even back then, local businesses were advertising with us.
Today all of that lives on at cusco.tips: more than a thousand guides in 5 languages, written by someone from here, who knows which street overcharges and which picantería never lets you down. No filler, no made-up reviews. That's why travelers trust us when we recommend a place.
"I recommend what I'd recommend to a friend visiting my city. If that's your business, I want travelers to find it."
Why cusco.tips
A name that is exactly what travelers type.
cusco.tips says what it is in any language: tips about Cusco. It's short, easy to remember and easy to type, and it matches word for word what people search for. Google Trends shows "cusco tips" as a real search, week after week, alongside "things to do in Cusco".
A market that keeps growing.
In 2025 the Cusco region recorded 3.7 million hotel and lodging arrivals (+12.1%), 2.6 million of them international, while Machu Picchu welcomed 1.5 million visitors. Cusco airport handled 2.4 million arriving passengers, 22.9% more than in 2019.

Living content, not a forgotten directory.

The #1 "Our pick" spot in up to 3 relevant guides, an extended listing with a photo gallery, 1 Pinterest pin per month and a mention in our newsletter.

FAQ
Do you guarantee visits or a Google ranking?
No. No honest publisher can guarantee rankings or traffic numbers. What we do guarantee is where your business appears: the guide and position you chose, in 5 languages, for the whole period.
Will it be clear that it's an ad?
Yes. Paid listings carry a "Recommended · Sponsored" label. Reader trust is what makes your ad worth something, and we're not going to burn it.
Do you accept any business?
No. We only recommend places we'd send a friend to: registered businesses with good reviews and, for agencies and lodgings, the required permits. If we get serious complaints from travelers, we'll talk to you about it.
Can I change my guide, photos or text?
Yes. Update photos, hours and offers whenever you like, and switch guides when you renew.
What if I want to cancel?
Monthly plans can be stopped at any time. Quarterly, 6-month and yearly plans are paid upfront, which is why they're discounted.
Who writes my listing?
We do, based on your details, in Spanish, English, Russian, French and Japanese. You approve the text before it goes live.
How do I pay?
We'll email you a proposal with the plan details and payment information.
Is there exclusivity?
Only with the Exclusive Partner plan: one business per category in that guide. For the other formats we cap the number of advertisers per guide or category.
