Description

1: Cristo Blanco Viewpoint – A Panoramic View of Cusco The tour kicks off with a climb up to the Cristo Blanco, a huge statue of Christ that watches over the city from a hill overlooking Cusco. From there, you can admire a spectacular view of the red-tiled roofs, the majestic Plaza de Armas, and the surrounding mountains. It's the perfect spot to snap panoramic photos and soak up the grandeur of Cusco before heading down to the historic heart. 2: San Blas – The Artists' Quarter Heading down from Cristo Blanco, the walk leads to the bohemian neighborhood of San Blas, known for its picturesque atmosphere and cobbled streets. This neighborhood is packed with artisan workshops, art galleries, and small shops selling silver jewelry, traditional textiles, and wooden sculptures. You can also admire the charming Plazoleta San Blas and its colonial church, which houses an impressive carved wooden altar covered with gold leaf. 3: Exploring the Narrow and Historic Streets From San Blas, the walk continues through a labyrinth of narrow streets, some paved with original Inca stones. Among the iconic stops, the Stone of Twelve Angles, a masterpiece of Inca architecture, catches your eye with the perfect fit of its stone blocks without the use of mortar. As you stroll, you'll also discover stunning colonial facades, carved wooden balconies, and a unique atmosphere blending Inca heritage with Spanish influences. 4: San Pedro Market – A Festival of Colors and Flavors Finally, the tour wraps up beautifully at the San Pedro market, a must-visit spot to discover the authenticity of the local culture. This bustling market offers an incredible variety of products: exotic fruits, Andean spices, local cheeses, traditional breads, and fresh fruit juices prepared on demand. You can try local specialties like 'choclo con queso' (giant corn with cheese) or buy handmade souvenirs. It's the perfect place to dive into the daily life of the locals and wrap up your visit with a delicious and warm note.
