Cusco Walking Tour (1Day)

On the way down to the city center we will pass (entrance is optional) by the archaeological remains of Sacsayhuaman, an impressive walled complex made of gigantic stones. This place is a great example of the mastery that the Incas achieved in stone work. Sacsayhuaman has been considered a World Heritage Site since 1983 by UNESCO.

Our first stop will be the San Blas neighborhood, a neighborhood full of art and history that is home to an important parish and many artists and their workshops. We will walk through its narrow and steep streets to appreciate very old houses that date back to the time of the Spanish occupation; the same ones that were built using the bases of ancient Inca constructions.

We will make a stop at The Stone of the Twelve Angles. We will continue the way to the Plaza de Armas of the city, the social heart of the city. We will see its beautiful fountain and admire the impressive Cathedral.

The last stop will be at the San Pedro Local Market, a place that opens every day of the week and has a wide variety of products such as cakes, fresh juices, delicious cheeses, huge breads even bigger than a head, tropical fruits and vegetables, herbs and spices, fresh Coca leaves and also «strange» things like bottled snakes, animal snouts and heads served in soups. We can spend as much time as we want in this place while we explore the numerous stalls. Be inspired by the special paraphernalia of this place.
