Description

Explore the real Cusco on this cultural walk. Start at the San Cristóbal viewpoint with panoramic views while your guide tells local legends and history. You'll stroll along the picturesque Calle 7 Borreguitos, then head downhill to visit the Sapantiana aqueduct, which is still in operation. Check out the 12-Angle Stone. Walk through Plaza de Armas, where you'll see the imposing Cathedral while your guide points out architectural details. You'll continue to Plaza San Francisco to observe the Franciscan church. Your experience culminates in the San Pedro de Cusco market with vibrant colors of Andean fruits and vegetables, aromas of fresh herbs and spices, and the sound of vendors touting their products in Quechua and Spanish. Your guide will take you through different sections of the market, explaining Andean ingredients from Cusco and exotic fruits that you've probably never seen. You can also taste the traditional chuta bread, Andean cheese, tamales, and more. This will be the perfect end to your cultural and gastronomic tour of authentic Cusco.
