Parcours et dénivelé
The Cusco Half Marathon features a challenging course through the historic Inca capital at high altitude (3,400m/11,150ft), starting near the Plaza de Armas and ascending through colonial streets and neighborhoods with significant elevation changes. Runners experience authentic Andean scenery with views of surrounding mountains, passing through local communities and historic sites before descending back toward the city center. The course tests cardiovascular fitness due to altitude rather than pure distance.
🌤️ Météo
August is Cusco's dry season with cool mornings and mild afternoons. Expect crisp mountain air, low humidity, and minimal rainfall, though temperatures drop significantly at this altitude. UV exposure is high due to thin atmosphere and proximity to equator.
