Cusco

Ranked by energy return on investment (eROI). Built for travelers with chronic pain, fatigue, and flare‑prone conditions—tool-first, calm defaults, simple Plan B thresholds.

eROI band: Low • Category: Cultural/Historical

Low‑effort wins

  • One base-camp (minimize transfers).
  • Seated/transport-first ‘big win’ (cap walking).
  • Protected reset window daily.

Rule: one base‑camp + one “big win” + one protected reset window. Not a checklist sprint.

The 4‑Hour Day (anti‑itinerary)

  • Quiet Anchor: 30–45 min calm café/park corner
  • Loop A (90 min): seated/transport-first win (cap walking)
  • Buffer (30–45 min): snack + seat + bathroom + decide ‘continue vs stop’
  • Loop B (90 min): seated win OR skip entirely (protect tomorrow)

This is designed to “still count” even if you stop early.

Plan B (Red → Amber)

  • If symptoms spike: drop Loop B → extend Quiet Anchor → return to base.
  • If flare risk rises: cap walking to one zone; use transport between stops.

Decision detox: you pre‑decide the swaps before symptoms spike.

Fit / Avoid

Good fit if: You prefer predictable pacing with one base-camp. You can do transport-first sightseeing and zoned walking.

Not a fit if: Long walking days / stairs without support.

Tune by season, neighborhood, and travel style. This page is a baseline.

Protections checklist

Use these as non‑negotiables. They reduce crash risk without requiring heroic self‑control.

  • Build one protected reset window daily (30–45 min).
  • Transport-first: one zone/day; cap walking; use rides between stops.
  • Seated version for each planned “win” (museum, cruise, viewpoint, café).
  • Pre-decide 3 defaults (food/transport/outfit) to reduce decision fatigue.

How we scored Cusco (rubric)

Inputs (0–5)

  • Mobility load: 4/5
  • Sensory load: 2/5
  • Planning friction: 3/5
  • Recovery infrastructure: 3/5
  • Optionality/control: 3/5

Formula

  • Difficulty = 0.30*Mobility + 0.25*Sensory + 0.15*Planning + 0.15*(5−Recovery) + 0.15*(5−Optionality)
  • Spoonie Score = 100 − 20*Difficulty
  • eROI = Reward ÷ max(10, 100 − Spoonie)
