The Cusco Region shares territory of highlands and inter-Andean valleys, which represent 34% of the territory, where 87% of its inhabitants live; and on the other, the jungle and the Amazon plain, which comprise 66% of the territory, occupied by 13% of the population.

The jungle jungle is comprised of the towns of Machu Picchu and Quillabamba, while the towns of the Amazon plain are located in lower Urubamba, Quincemil and the Manu National Park. Amazonian tribes such as the Ashaninkas and Matsigenka live in these places, who have performed Ayahuasca ceremonies since time immemorial.

Doing Ayahuasca in Cusco is a real possibility since a large part of the territory is located in the Amazon plain.
