Itinerary
1
Plaza Regocijo (Kusipata)
Our tour begins in the quiet Plaza Regocijo, a historic corner very close to the heart of Cusco. Here we will warmly welcome you, and the guide will share a fascinating introduction about the founding of the city, the Inca worldview and the profound changes Cusco experienced during colonial times. We will also introduce you to the itinerary we will follow along the walking tour.
20 minutes
2
Plaza de Armas Cuzco
We will walk to the imposing Plaza de Armas, known in Inca times as Haukaypata, a key ceremonial and spiritual square of Tahuantinsuyo. Here you will learn how it was transformed during the Spanish colonization with the construction of:
The Cathedral of Cusco, built on the ancient palace of the Inca Viracocha.
The Church of the Society of Jesus, a jewel of the Andean Baroque.
Both temples reflect the fusion between Andean and European cultures, and represent the complex history of cultural miscegenation.
10 minutes
3
Calle Hatun Rumiyoc
We continue along Loreto Street, a road that preserves original, perfectly aligned Inca walls. Then we arrive at the famous Hatun Rumiyoc Street, home to the iconic 12 Angle Stone, symbol of Inca art and engineering precision. Here you’ll discover how the ancient Cuscoes managed to build resistant structures without using cement, and how their architecture reflects a deep connection to nature and the spiritual world.
30 minutes
4
San Blas
We will ascend to San Blas, the charming neighborhood of artists and artisans. Along the way, the guide will share ancestral legends, local anecdotes and details about daily life in pre-Hispanic and colonial Cusco. San Blas will give you a panoramic view of the city, as well as being home to:
Workshops of local artisans.
The Church of San Blas, famous for its pulpit carved from a single piece of wood, considered a masterpiece of colonial art.
30 minutes
5
Mercado Central de San Pedro
We finish the tour at the vibrant San Pedro Market, designed by the famous Gustave Eiffel. This market is a feast for the senses: colors, aromas, flavors and sounds that immerse you in the living culture of Cusco. You will discover:
Ingredients of local cuisine.
Native fruits, medicinal plants and Andean products.
Opportunity to try a coke mate or take a real souvenir.
The tour ends with a farewell in the market, but not before giving you some recommendations to continue exploring Cusco on your own.
