Description

Immerse yourself in the artistic soul of Cusco with this walking tour through the charming neighborhood of San Blas, also known as the “Barrio de los Artesanos”. This half-day tour is designed for travelers looking for a more intimate, cultural and creative experience away from traditional tourism. We begin the tour exploring the steep cobblestone streets of San Blas, where colonial architecture blends with urban murals, artisan workshops and an unmistakable bohemian energy. On every corner, local artists open their doors to show their work, ancestral techniques and the living legacy of Cusquenian art. We will visit the Hilario Mendívil Museum-Workshop, home of the iconic Cusco school of sculpture, famous for its religious images with elongated necks. We will continue to local galleries such as Arte Olave and Quellca, where you can appreciate unique pieces of contemporary Andean art and talk directly with the artists about their creative processes. The tour also takes us to the San Blas Viewpoint, a perfect pause to admire one of the most beautiful views of Cusco's historic center. Finally, we will walk to Hatunrumiyoc Street to see the famous Stone of the 12 Angles, a symbol of perfection in Inca architecture. This tour is ideal for curious travelers, art lovers, photographers and anyone who wants to understand Cusco's cultural identity from its most authentic expression: art and its artists.
