Cusco Walking Tour

Get picked up at your hotel to start this tour ascending to the hills of Cusco to see White Christ (Cristo Blanco), from where you have a panoramic view over the city and the incredible landscape. On the way back to the city center, pass near the archaeological ruins of Sacsayhuaman as you walk back to the city of Cusco.

Your first destination is the artisan neighborhood of San Blas, a charming and lively neighborhood that's home to many artisans, workshops, and craft shops. Walk through its narrow, steep streets with old houses built by the Spanish over important Inca foundations. Visit the church of San Blas and its famous pulpit, and then stop at the famous Stone of Twelve Angles to take some photos.

Continue your journey to the Inca Museum, also known as the Archaeological Museum of Cusco, which contains clues that trace the history of Peru since pre-Inca civilizations and the Inca culture. After the tour at the Museum, walk to the Plaza de Armas, in the heart of the city.

Your last stop will be in the local market of San Pedro, which operates every day of the week with a variety of items sold, such as pastries, fresh juices, delicious cheeses, tropical fruits and vegetables, herbs and spices, fresh coca leaves, snakes in bottles, muzzles, animal heads, and soups. You can take all the time you want to tour the many stalls, which are inspired by the style of this special place, and you can buy traditional souvenirs (own expense).
