Cusco

Cusco is without a doubt the most beautiful city in Peru and possibly South America. Once the heart of the Inca Empire, It was considered the navel of the earth, the capital of Tahuantinsuyo or the Inca Empire, an empire that at its peak stretched north to the south of Colombia, South to northern Chile and Argentina, and West across the Andes to the Amazon basin. Today Cusco is the modern-day starting point for visits to Peru’s most famous site, Machu Picchu.

Cusco Tours with a Local Private Guide

Cusco is without a doubt the most beautiful city in Peru and possibly South America. Once the heart of the Inca Empire, It was considered the navel of the earth, the capital of Tahuantinsuyo or the Inca Empire, an empire that at its peak stretched north to the south of Colombia, South to northern Chile and Argentina, and West across the Andes to the Amazon basin. Cusco’s city center is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Today Cusco is the modern-day starting point for visits to Peru’s most famous site, Machu Picchu.

The Incas were outstanding stonemasons and town planners. In Cusco, you will be able to observe the skill and exquisiteness of this work on the many walls that serve as foundations to colonial buildings. The colonial buildings themselves are among the finest in the Americas. The crisp air, the surrounding mountains, and the clear Andean sky provide the perfect backdrop to Cusco’s cobbled narrow streets, its lovely buildings and plazas, its many hidden treasures and churches. It is not only culturally fascinating and beautiful to look at, but also extremely pleasant to wander around and be in the city itself.

cusco tour local

Qorikancha, the Incan Temple of the Sun. 

This was once the most sacred spot in Cusco, dedicated to the supreme Inca deity, Inti, the sun. At the time of the arrival of the Spanish, it was completely covered in gold. Today the gold is long gone, and atop the Inca base, you´ll find the colonial Santo Domingo Convent.

The Cusco’s Plaza de Armas.

The heart of modern Cusco, the Plaza the Armas, which was once known as Huacaypata, the place of tears, a fitting name for the site where Túpac Amaru II was quartered in the late 1700s after his unsuccessful Inca rebellion against the Spanish. Upon the bases of Inca palaces, the Spanish built arched passageways, churches and mansions. 

Cusco Cathedral

The history of colonial Cusco goes hand-in-hand with its churches, and none is more iconic than the Cusco Cathedral. It was built on the site of an Inca palace, using stones from that palace and Sacsayhuaman. Construction for the church began in 1560 and was completed nearly 100 years later in 1656. 

San Pedro Market

A visit to the vibrant San Pedro Market. It’s always a popular stop with guests to Cusco not just because of its vibrant riot of color and activity but also for the insight it provides into local life. Aside from handicrafts and native Andean grains and produce, there are also many products that surprise foreigners.

Sacsayhuaman 

Sacsayhuaman was the largest stone structure that the Inca Empire constructed. Built over 500 years ago it still stands tall today and houses the famous Inti Raymi festival every year in June. The stone boulders show the Inca style of architecture with blocks expertly cut and placed without the use of mortar.

San Blas Bohemian Neighborhood

Ascending some narrow from the Main square and twisting cobblestone street, we’ll make a stop in the small central plaza of the bohemian neighborhood of San Blas, which has been the artistic district of Cusco since Inca times. Here we learn about the well-known local artist families and their fine works.

Culinary Adventures in Cusco

The colored mountain or rainbow mountain is a challenging high-altitude trek that rewards you with views that have made this trek instagram famous. colorful minerals in the soil stripe the mountain range in a natural rainbow of red, green, blue, and yellow.  .

What other guests say about our tours and locals

Best Cusco tour!

"We had so much fun with Fabrizio! He is extremely knowledgeable of the city and speaks very good English. He has a very fun personality and we really enjoyed spending time with him. He is flexible and lets you pick what you want to see. You won’t regret booking with Fabrizio! "

local Fabrizio

A knowledgeable tour guide and friend

"Fabrizio is one cool dude. He treats you like a friend, cares about you, caters to your needs, and makes sure you have a good time. He is very knowledgeable and just a fun person to be around. He goes at your pace and takes you to the places you want to see. Thanks for being one of the big highlights of our trip to Cusco, Fabrizio!"

guest Rachel

Review about Fabrizio

"Cusco is a very lively city full of little shops, restaurants, and bars. It was a lot of fun getting to see this scene through Fabrizio’s eyes. He mixes his deep knowledge of Cusco culture and sites with his love for food and pisco to make for a fantastic night out. Didn’t feel like a city tour at all. In fact, it was more like an evening hanging out with an old friend you didn’t know you had in Cusco. Unmissable."

guest Jose Raul

Great food and conversation!

"Harry was an excellent guide to take us to some places we wouldn't have thought to go. He was thoughtful to the day and time and rearranged things to help us see as much as possible. He told us a lot of interesting history and even supplied some great recommendations for the remainder of the trip."

local Harry

Delicious food tour!

"We really enjoyed the food tour with Reynaldo! He chose tasty restaurants that were clean and well kept, which we appreciated. It was fun trying so many different local foods and spending time getting to know the city with Reynaldo, we highly recommend him! Come with your appetite— you will not go away hungry, we were stuffed!"

local Reynaldo

Fabrizio was fantastic!

"We had such a great time with Fabrizio. He’s very knowledgeable about Inka history, local culture and gives great restaurant recommendations. I had to cancel my trip last year and he was so helpful and quick to respond to any questions I had during the planning process for both trips! He offered great suggestions and worked with us to customize our tour. Best of all spending time with Fabrizio was like enjoying time with an old friend, he made us feel so welcome. I can’t recommend him more! Fabrizio Should be your first choice for the sacred valley or any tour in the Cusco area. Thanks for a fantastic time Fabrizio!!!"

Fun, knowledgable, and charismatic

"We had a great afternoon with Fabrizio. We had a very limited time to enjoy Cusco before moving on to our next destination and we knew the best way to get the most out of it would be with a local so we booked a tour. He introduced us to dishes that we wouldn't have thought to try and taught us things about the city we hadn't learned in the endless documentaries we'd watched and books we'd read. We laughed, wandered, learned, and ate. If you are looking for a fun, informed, outgoing guide you should absolutely consider booking with him. "

guest Alyson

Amazing tour with an awesome guide

"We booked a tour with Fabrizio our first day in Cusco to help introduce us to the city and it did not disappoint at all. Fabrizio was so awesome from the moment we met him, it felt like we were adventuring around with an old friend. He showed us the cool high points, and also some authentic Peruvian experiences so we could get a real feel for the culture. It was awesome! I will definitely be reaching out the next time I’m in Peru. Thank you Fabrizio!!!!"

guest Victoria

Picture perfect local tour

"Fabrizio gave us a really engaging tour of Cusco centre from a local’s perspective. He took us to the market, introduced us to some of the stall holders and arranged us to taste some locally produced chocolate. We then went to a local bar and guinea pig restaurant and tried some local beer before marching up some rather steep hills to take pictures in the best viewing spots. Throughout, Fabrizio explained the history of Cusco, local customs and prompted us to stop for photos in the best spots. A very enjoyable experience with a brilliant guide that we will remember for a long time to come. "

guest Michael

Perfect host

"Fabrizio was the perfect host for our tour in Cusco - amazing communications and flexibility, which are appreciated. Great knowledge as a local and perfect English. We have used Withlocals in Europe, but never in South America and it was a great experience and he is one of the best guides in the world!"

guest Jerry

Enjoy the Best of the Cusco Like a Local

Private & personalized tours in cusco with a local.

When you hit the road and land in a new city like Cusco, there's an exciting way to dive into its soul: personalized local tours. Forget the typical touristy routes – these tours are like having a local friend show you around all the cool spots.

Imagine having someone who lives and breathes Cusco spill its secrets. That's what local guides bring to the table. They know the hidden alleys, the best bites, and stories that never made it to the guidebooks. Whether you're into munching through food tours, wandering the city's streets, or going off the beaten path, a local guide hooks you up with a private tour that's authentically Cusco.

The best part? These tours are all about you. No herding in big groups or rushing through places you're not interested in. With private tours, you're the boss. Whether it's snapping pics at iconic landmarks, diving into history, or checking out the art scene, the tour is tuned to your vibes at your tempo.

But it doesn't stop at city limits. Day trips let you escape the urban jungle and explore nearby wonders. And if you're just setting foot in Cusco, kickstart tours give you a taste of everything. Think of it as a crash course in Cusco awesomeness, guided by a local who knows the city like the back of their hand.

So, next time you're in Cusco, ditch the ordinary. Grab a local tour and unlock the city's real magic – the stories, flavors, and places that make it uniquely Cusco. Get ready to explore like a local!

It’s almost impossible to quantify the reasons why so many tourists come to Cusco. Not only is it a UNESCO World Heritage Site in its own right, famed for its encapsulation of the country’s 15th and 16th century Incan culture, but it’s also one of the best-placed gateways for trekkers looking to make the ubiquitous hike up Machu Picchu in the high peaks of the southern Peruvian Andes. In short it’s a city whose tourist guides literally brim with activities to do. Today, the downtown is an attractive melange of post-colonial architecture that bears all the trademarks of Spanish influence, from the wide market square at Plaza de Armas to the buzzing Plaza de San Francisco, the kingpin of Cusco’s café culture and chilled-out bar scene. There are also plenty of museums to explore, ranging from regional history exhibitions to some of Peru’s finest collections of contemporary art. The city of Cusco is perched high in the mountainous Andean valleys, and represents one of Peru’s best enclaves of preserved history. It’s a place that’s long been considered one of the undisputed ‘must sees’ for any tourist in the country, whether they intend to make the more ambitious journey further into the Sacred Valley of the Incas or not.

TRAVEL INSURANCE

  • We highly recommend travel insurance for all of our customers.
  • Coverage should include baggage loss, accident, emergency air rescue and trip cancellation. Trip cancellation insurance should reimburse you for non-recoverable air or land expenses should you cancel your trip due to personal or family illness, as well as covering any medical or emergency evacuation expenses if you become ill during your trip.
  • In the case of illness or injury on one of our treks or tours, we are trained to provide emergency first aid and arrange transportation to a proper medical facility. However, we are not responsible for the cost of those transportation services or the cost of medical care.

ABOUT YOUR PASSPORT IN MACHU PICCHU, HUAYNA PICCHU AND ON THE INCA TRAIL:

  • Once you book your tour, we send your information immediately to “Machu Picchu Park” in order for permits to be issued as soon as possible.
  • You will need to bring your actual passport for all services. A photocopy will not be accepted.
  • If your passport number changes between reserving your spot and the start of your trek, you will need to bring your old as well as your new passport to the start of the Trek.
  • If any of the information on your passport does not match the information we were previously provided, you won’t be able to start the trek.
  • If you arrive in Cusco and did not advise us that you have a new passport number, and that your information has changed, Peru Spirit Adventure will not be held responsible. In this situation it will be the responsibility of the customer to pay the extra expense of returning to Cusco or Machu Picchu (transportation, food and other expenses).

TRAVEL IN PERU:   Peru Spirit Adventure  operates in regions, where standards of accommodation can vary. Transportation and other services might not be like those you would normally have back home. However, we strive with all due care and skill, to provide the best service for our clients. Traveling in Peru requires flexibility, patience, broad-mindedness, good humor and an understanding that changes may be made without notice due to circumstances or occurrences beyond our control. For example: a strike, protest, landslide, bad weather, etc. ( Force Majeure ). By booking any of our tours & treks, you agree to allow  Peru Spirit Adventure  to make necessary changes without liability.

FORCE MAJEURE

Force Majeure is any event that PERU SPIRIT ADVENTURE cannot with all due care foresee, control or avoid. This covers events such as war or threat of war, riot, civil strike, terrorist activity, industrial dispute, disease, natural disasters, adverse weather conditions, fire or all similar events beyond our control. In this case, PERU SPIRIT ADVENTURE will not accept liability and reserves the right to change, postpone or even cancel trips. (This is a last option, of course!)

By booking any of our adventure trips (Inca Trail to Machu Picchu, Lares, Salkantay, Ausangate, Choquequirao, Rainbow Mountain trek and more) you assume the risks associated with personal accidents, medical emergencies, air travel problems etc. For these treks, PERU SPIRIT ADVENTURE Agency accepts no responsibility.

FULL TERMS & CONDITIONS FOR ADVENTURE TOURS & TREKS

  • You must advise Peru Spirit Adventure of any medical problems or allergies you may have. You need to be in good physical health, and if your health is questionable, then you should consult a doctor. If you are over the age of 70 years old, then you will need to present us with a current good health medical certificate.
  • You must advise your guide if you wish to leave the group or the camping area for independent walks or sightseeing. If you are experiencing any problems with the services of the guide or tour, please advise the guide in that moment, so that he can resolve any problems.
  • All balances need to be paid in either cash or PayPal (see “ FINAL PAYMENTS ” section above).
  • In order to receive a student discount, you must send your valid University ID to Peru Spirit Adventure at the time of booking. ID must have your name, photo and valid expiration date. Any card without an expiration date will not be accepted. You will then be required to bring your student card with you on the trek – they will not allow you to pass through the checkpoint without this original card.
  • You will be required to show the original passport (not a copy) that you booked with, at the checkpoint to enter the Inca Trail. If you originally booked with an old passport and then renewed your passport, you must also bring your expired passport along with your new, valid passport to permit entry or they will refuse your entrance to the trail.
  • Cancellations: Your deposit is 100% non-refundable. If you need to cancel for any reason, as you approach your tour start date, there may be additional cost due. There are absolutely no exceptions (we do not accept medical notes of any kind) as our out of pocket expenses are non-refundable to us (see  “CANCELLATION FEES”  section above).
  • PERMITS: Permits for the Inca Trail are in your name and can not be transferred to anyone else under any circumstances. Change of dates is also not possible once a permit has been purchased. Permits are non-refundable and non-transferable. The deposit will be forfeited. Please note that this is a regulation of the Peruvian government and not PERU SPIRIT ADVENTURE (or any agency).
  • All Adventure Treks include transportation to Cusco. The return train route depends on train availability.
  • If you become ill or injured on the trail and are unable to continue, a porter will be provided to accompany you back to an area with emergency assistance capabilities. Helicopter airlifts and medical assistance are at the expense of the trekker. If you are unable to complete the tour due to illness, we will assist you in meeting your group at Machu Picchu to recommence your tour at that point. There will be no refund of the original payment.
  • PERU SPIRIT ADVENTURE will take all reasonable care in providing to our clients avoidance of accident, illness, and loss of personal property, and will only employ suitably qualified staff. We accept responsibility for the actions of our own employees. Peru Spirit Adventure cannot, however, be responsible for any action of third parties. You are totally responsible for your own personal property and rented equipment.
  • PERU SPIRIT ADVENTURE does not take responsibility for unfavorable weather conditions, natural catastrophe, strikes, accidents, illness, injury, loss of personal ítems, etc. It is the client’s responsibility to carry insurance to cover these types of events. We reserve the right to modify or cancel the program due to any of the unforeseen conditions listed above.

VERY IMPORTANT:

  • We strongly suggest spending time at high altitude (above 3000 meters / 9842 feet)- in Cusco or another high altitude area for a minimum of 2- 4 days before undertaking your trip. This is in order to minimize the possible effects of altitude sickness. By drinking plenty of fluids, adding sugar to your drinks, eating food high in carbohydrates, avoiding cigarettes, alcohol, and drinking coca tea (ancient traditional leaf) will help your body acclimatize.
  • We recommend you arrive in Cusco 48 hours or more before trek departure because occasionally we need to leave earlier than scheduled in case of strikes or other events out of our control (see ‘Force Majeure’ section below)

RIGHT TO USE PICTURES

You accept and grant to Peru Spirit Adventure – Tour Operator the right to use your images, photos, and videos that show or describe during your participation in any tour, trekking or adventure, in any advertising of any type, without payment of any additional consideration.

Some of the most outstanding archaeological sites in the Sacred Valley include Ollantaytambo, Pisac, Moray and the salt mines of Maras.

The Sacred Valley was a region of great importance for the Inca empire, as it was one of the main areas of agricultural production and also housed important ceremonial and administrative centers.

In addition to exploring the archaeological sites, visitors can participate in activities such as hiking, rafting on the Urubamba River, visits to local markets and do farming activities.

 The best time to visit the Sacred Valley is during the dry season, which runs from May to September, when the weather is milder and there is less chance of rain.

Some of the most visited places in Cusco include the Temple of the Sun (Qorikancha), the Plaza de Armas, the Cusco Cathedral, and the archaeological complexes of Sacsayhuaman, Q’enqo, Puca Pucara and Tambomachay. Also the Sacred Valley in Urubamba.

Common symptoms of altitude sickness include headache, dizziness, fatigue, nausea and difficulty sleeping. To prevent altitude sickness, it is important to gradually acclimatize to the altitude, stay hydrated, avoid excessive alcohol and caffeine consumption, and get enough rest and drink Coca tea.

Free walking tour in Cusco - Best places to visit

Cusco is one of Peru's largest cities, located in the eastern part of the Andes mountain range, on the banks of the Huatanay River. In addition, according to the Peruvian Constitution, it is considered as the historic capital, before Lima, because it was the main site of the Tahuantinsuyo Empire and had an enormous cultural and architectural legacy. On the outskirts of the city lies the Inca citadel of Machu Picchu , as well as other nearby towns that all have great cultural value.

On a pay-what-you-please walking tour of Cusco you can see the main monuments and landmarks with a local guide who will show you the hidden charms of Peruvian culture. Among the many places to check out, these are the essential places you should visit: Plaza de Armas, San Blas neighborhood, Qorikancha and the Convent of Santo Domingo, Sacsayhuamán. Don’t forget about visiting, Loreto Street and the 12 angled Stone, San Pedro’s Market, the Tambomachay, Pukapukara, Qenqo and the White Christ, the Sacred Valley or Rainbow Mountain to have an unforgettable trip.

Cusco, peru is a top-tier tourist destination all on its own.

  • Share to Facebook
  • Share to Twitter
  • Share to Linkedin

The city of Cusco was designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1983.

Long renowned for its dazzling 15th-century Incan architecture, the historic city of Machu Picchu draws visitors in droves each year, with nearby Cusco serving as the perfect jumping-off point for exploring this historic wonder—yet Cusco itself is far more than just a convenient base for beginning your journey. Rife with staggering colonial churches, high-end hotels and a thriving drinking and dining scene, this lofty Peruvian city is a top-tier tourist destination in its own right, with no shortage of fascinating landmarks and attractions to explore during a visit. As you plan your bucket list adventure to explore the beauty of Machu Picchu, be sure to leave some room on the itinerary to explore Cusco, one of Peru’s most underrated vacation destinations.

Where to Stay

The JW Marriott El Convento Cusco is home to a full service spa that specializes in Andean-inspired ... [+] treatments.

While Cusco is rife with historic churches, landmarks and marketplaces, the city is also home to its fair share of storied hotels, with the JW Marriott El Convento Cusco serving as a prime example. Located steps away from the city’s extravagant Plaza Mayor in a restored 16th-century convent, this polished hotel offers a seamless blend of both old and new, ushering in a wealth of modern amenities and extravagant design flourishes. Upon arrival, guests are greeted by a truly grandiose sculpture meant to represent the Incan sun god, with 60,000 individual Swarovski crystals arranged to form a massive art installation—but for history buffs in particular, no visit is complete without heading downstairs.

During a stroll through the lobby, guests can admire centuries-old relics that highlight the building’s storied past, while the lower reaches of the hotel play host to a fascinating array of Incan ruins. Discovered during the building’s restoration process, this wing of the hotel serves as a time capsule that’s loaded with artifacts from Cusco’s distant past, with pottery, sculptures and handcrafted tools all on display. Post-exploration, guests are welcome to head upstairs and make use of the on-property restaurant Qespi, a colorful venue that’s perfect for sampling refined Andean fare crafted with fresh, locally-sourced ingredients. To kick off the meal, guests can snag flavorful appetizers ranging from tiradito to trout causas, while meat lovers should be sure to sample the pachamanca—and for those in need of a nightcap, nearby Qespi Bar has mastered the art of the pisco sour, a refreshing cocktail that made its debut in the early 20th century in Peru.

Drinking and Dining

Alpaca were believed to have been domesticated roughly five to six thousand years ago.

Peru is renowned for its diverse dining scene, and while Cusco may lack the thriving seafood scene found across coastal cities like Trujillo and Lima, the city’s high altitude and rich array of native crops have given rise to a wealth of flavorful dishes. For a deep dive on classic interior Peruvian cuisine, Pachapapa has mastered the art of traditionally-prepared meats, offering a hearty menu that spans from chili-marinated lamb to fried whole guinea pig. Meanwhile, those in search of a contemporary Peruvian dining experience can make their way to Kusykay , a colorful venue adjacent to Cusco’s Plaza Mayor. Locally-sourced Andean ingredients can be found in abundance across the menu, with the lomo saltado and lomo de alpaca serving as two must-try dishes for newcomers to Peruvian cuisine.

After exploring the rich flavors of interior Peru, guests can expand their horizons beyond the reaches of just the Andes, with no shortage of international bars and restaurants to explore across the city. Guests can sample tteokbokki, japchae and a wealth of other flavorful Korean dishes at Sa Rang Che, while Taste Of India is a top spot for a deep dive on classic South Asian cuisine—but when it comes to craft cocktails, no visit is complete without checking out Garibaldi Cocktail Bar . A recent addition to Cusco’s bar scene, this cozy space has mastered the art of mixology, offering complex concoctions that span from rum cocktails infused with local mushrooms to agave-forward drinks loaded with jasmine and citrus. And for anyone in search of a fresh pour of Guinness to celebrate their trip, Paddy's Irish Pub is the perfect spot for a pint served alongside all sorts of charming Emerald Isle memorabilia.

Top Activities

The puma has played a prominent role in indigenous folklore across the Andes for millennia.

Whether you’re celebrating a successful summit of Machu Picchu or have decided to forgo the ruins entirely, Cusco is loaded with top-tier attractions that make the city well worth visiting all on its own. Given the region’s historical significance, there’s a wide array of fascinating museums to explore all across city limits, with the Regional Historical Museum of Cusco serving as a top attraction for first-time visitors. After strolling through the grandiose courtyard, guests can discover a wealth of intricate sculptures depicting figures from local Andean indigenous culture, while colorful paintings and murals abound as well. Just a few steps away, the Museo de Arte Precolombino is perfect for gaining further insight into the history of Cusco’s native people, with pottery, jewelry and weapons all on display.

For visitors wishing to explore outside of city limits, there’s a particularly idyllic day trip destination found in the form of Laguna Piuray. Located roughly fifty minutes northwest of downtown Cusco, this natural feature has served as a crucial water source for millennia, and in the modern era, it also doubles as a particularly popular spot for outdoor recreation. Upon arrival to Cusco, guests are welcome to book a guided tour with local company CuscoPeru.com , with each trip offering ample opportunity for both nature lovers and fitness aficionados. Kicking off with an 8:30 AM pickup, this full day activity provides participants with a chance to soak in the surrounding scenery, with local fishers and all sorts of flora and fauna found just beyond their kayak.

About Post Malone

A 9x diamond-certified GRAMMY® Award-nominated phenomenon, Dallas, TX artist Post Malone regularly rewrites history, blurs boundaries, and incites internet-breaking conversation with every move. Emerging in 2015 with a genre-less brew that inspired a movement, he delivered the diamond-selling “Congratulations” [feat. Quavo], achieved back-to-back #1 debuts on the Billboard Top 200, received countless multi-Platinum certifications around the world, and smashed one record after another with his Hot 100-topping hits. In 2022, he pushed boundaries again with his fourth full-length offering, Twelve Carat Toothache , which marked his fourth consecutive Top 5 bow on the Top 200. It also paved the way for his biggest headliner to date, The Twelve Carat Toothache Tour, taking over arenas for multiple dates in major cities throughout the year. He even scored “the highest-certified single in RIAA history” with the 17x-platinum “Sunflower ( Spider-Man: Into The Spider-Verse )” [feat. Swae Lee], netting the biggest single of his generation. In 2023, he garnered a GRAMMY® Award nod in the category of “Best Pop Duo/Group Performance” for “I Like You (A Happier Song)” [with Doja Cat], marking his tenth career nomination in six years.

Three years prior, his 2019 third full-length, Hollywood’s Bleeding [Republic Records], represented an audience and critical high watermark. Not only did it arrive at platinum status and eventually go triple platinum, but it also reigned at #1 on the Billboard Top 200 for four weeks and returned to the chart for a fifth week, making for the longest run atop the chart of 2019 and the first release to do so in over a year. The quadruple-platinum lead single “Circles” seized #1 on the Billboard Hot 100 for three weeks. It notably occupied a spot on the chart for a record 39 weeks in total. Speaking of making history, he performed a massively popular Nirvana tribute concert on YouTube, raising over $10,000,000 for the World Health Organization in the fight against COVID-19. Hollywood’s Bleeding followed the immense success of the triple-Platinum beerbongs & bentleys , which also landed at #1 a year prior. In the wake of beerbongs & bentleys , Post crushed a record in place for 54 years. He charted nine songs in the Top 20 of the Hot 100, notching “the most songs in the Top 20 of the Hot 100 ever . ” Moreover, he also trounced the record for most simultaneous Top 40 Hot 100 hits with 14.

As of 2023, his catalog comprises the GRAMMY® Award-nominated “rockstar” [feat. 21 Savage” (Diamond), “Sunflower ( Spider-Man: Into The Spider-Verse )” [feat. Swae Lee] (2x Diamond), “I Fall Apart” (Diamond), “Psycho” [feat. Ty Dolla $ign] (Diamond), “White Iverson” (Diamond), “Better Now” (Diamond), and more. Not to mention, he sold out numerous arena tours and hosted and curated his own mega-popular Posty Fest in 2018 and 2019. It all started with his quintuple-platinum influential 2016 debut, Stoney . With records under his belt that will likely never be surpassed and a generation of artists and audiences worldwide under his spell, Post Malone simply doesn’t stop.

Taylor Swift Covers a Year's Worth of Meals With Donation to Local U.K. Food Bank on Eras Tour Route

Taylor Swift is working to leave the cities on her Eras Tour route a little better than she found them.  

As the 34-year-old pop star has taken her global trek to Europe this summer, she's continued her trend of donating to food banks along the way. And according to one charity in Liverpool - where Swift performed three nights at Anfield Stadium earlier this month - a recent contribution from the singer will take care of crucial gaps in their fundraising efforts, providing for a full year's worth of meals.  

"It's the most incredible gift," Rich Jones, chief executive of St. Andrew's Community Network, told The Guardian in an interview published Tuesday (June 25). "Because of rising prices, rising need and falling donations, we've been having to subsidize our food ourselves for a long while." 

"But it's fair to say that Taylor Swift has essentially paid our food bill for 12 months – and that gives us the breathing space to focus on fundraising efforts going forward," he added on behalf of St. Andrew's, which runs 11 food banks and offers long-term support to eight community pantries. 

Shortly after performing in Liverpool, the "Anti-Hero" singer brought her Eras showcase to Wales. According to Rachel Biggs, chief executive of Cardiff Foodbank, Swift also covered 10,800 meals with a discreet donation to the organization in honor of her single performance at Principality Stadium June 18. 

"We're going to buy an articulated lorry full of food and other most-needed items to supplement our emergency food parcels," Biggs told the publication. "This will provide the weight equivalent to feeding 1,200 people three meals a day, for three days … This will be 2.5 weeks of what we typically distribute." 

Though Swift doesn't publicize her donations, Liverpool and Cardiff are only two of the latest cities to report receiving generous donations from the 14-time Grammy winner over the course of her Eras Tour. When she was on the North American leg, food banks in Arizona, Nevada and Florida all revealed that she had sent funding their way. 

Following three nights at London's Wembley Stadium last weekend, Swift is next slated to perform three shows in Dublin June 28-30. She'll spend the rest of the summer traveling throughout Europe before returning to North America for a final lap this fall. 

"Wembley Stadium round one was so surreal," she wrote in a recent Instagram post . "Looking out into crowds of 90,000 fans each night and hearing that VOLUME… Those were some of the loudest crowds I've ever heard … Never going to forget these shows."

Local news | ford model t club explores history through chesapeake civil war tour.

Chesapeake’s plethora of backroads, bordered by fields of corn and soy beans, offered a friendly environment for the Ford Model T Civil War Tour in Chesapeake. (Photo by Bob Ruegsegger/freelance)

Rob Sallada of the Albemarle Area Chapter of the Ford Model T Club International teamed up with Robert Hitchings of the Norfolk County Historical Society of Chesapeake to organize a 55-mile Civil War tour through Chesapeake following backroads to historic landmarks. Stops along the way included Beechwood, Superintendent’s House, Happer House and the Jackson Greys monument.

Along Shillelagh Road, Lake Drummond Causeway, Belle Haven Street and Ballahack Road, residents waved from their front yards and driveways as the antique eight-vehicle caravan of seven Model T’s and a Model A sedan delivery drove past their rural homes.

While the city of Chesapeake, formerly old Norfolk County, is crisscrossed with highways, the backroads, although paved, in the southern reaches of the municipality near the North Carolina-Virginia border have remained representative of the dirt roads and wagon trails of yesteryear.

Rob Sallada and Robert Hitchings prepare for the Model T Civil War Tour of Chesapeake. Stops along the way included Beechwood, Superintendent's House, Happer House and the Jackson Greys monument.

“The Model T Civil War Tour was really a coming together of two things,” said Sallada, a resident of Deep Creek. “Model T tours are a lot of fun wherever you go and whatever your highlight is. The Civil War part came from just talking with Mr. Hitchings. He was a referral from a Model A club member who had participated in one of Mr. Hitchings’ tours 10 or 15 years ago — long before I was involved in the program.”

Powered by a 177-cubic-inch, four-cylinder inline engine that produced 20 horsepower and a top speed of 45 mph, the Model T is most comfortable at slower speeds that would tend to impede traffic on well-traveled thoroughfares.

“I went about 42 mph in a Model T once, and that was like being at Busch Gardens,” Sallada said. “That was a little fast. Their sweet spot is 25 to 35 mph. That’s about right.” During the Civil War, many public buildings and churches around the area were put into service as hospitals, barracks and stables. The toll house on the highway, now Route 17, that ran parallel to the Dismal Swamp Canal served as a checkpoint for examining the credentials and identification of local citizens.

For Robert Hitchings, president of the Norfolk County Historical Society of Chesapeake and archivist at the Wallace History Room at Chesapeake Central Library, offering comments on local history is nothing new.

But riding in a Ford Model T was a new experience for the historian.

“All in all, this was an eventful day in my life,” Hitchings said. “Frankly speaking, the ride was quite different than I really expected. There was lots of noise, pulling on the choke and gear shifting. It was quite a feat learning how to drive in those days. We have come a long way in automobiles. I can appreciate my modern Subaru automatic.”
