Description
Begin your day with a comfortable pickup from your hotel in Cusco. Head to the Ccochawasi Animal Sanctuary, where you’ll witness the majestic flight of the Andean condor. Stand just meters away from the most sacred bird of the Inca world and feel its immense wingspan sweep the air around you.
Next, head to the first alpaca café in Cusco, an irresistibly charming space where fluffy alpacas roam freely and warm Andean hospitality surrounds you. Enjoy a hands-on empanada workshop, crafting your own fresh empanada and baking it in a traditional mud oven, just like the locals. Once golden and ready, savor your creation with a cup of artisanal coffee — all while interacting with the gentle alpacas around you.
With your heart (and camera roll) full, continue exploring iconic viewpoints of the city. Stop at Qenqo Forest, a mystical Andean spot, perfect for a mini nature-inspired photo session.
Next, head to Cristo Blanco for panoramic views over the red-tiled roofs of Cusco. Then, visit the San Cristóbal Lookout, a final elevated lookout before you begin your scenic descent.
From San Cristóbal, stroll downhill through Cusco’s most photogenic corners: the flower-lined Siete Borreguitos, the historic Sapantiana Aqueduct, and the charming stone-paved Choquechaka Street. Continue along Hatun Rumiyoq, stopping for the famous twelve-angled stone, a masterpiece of Inca engineering.
End your journey at the vibrant Plaza de Armas, where modern Cusco meets its rich ancestral past — the perfect place to continue your adventure.
