The Walking Tour in Cusco offers a unique opportunity to explore the Inca city differently, with flexible hours to accommodate your schedule and preferences.

To start the tour, we will pick you up from your hotel and take you on a 20-minute journey to Cristo Blanco, located on the “El Calvario” hill, also known as Pukamuku hill. This statue of Christ was gifted to the people of Cusco as a token of gratitude by the Arab Palestinian community. From there, you'll enjoy a panoramic view of the city and an impressive landscape of Cusco, famously shaped like a puma. Our walk will begin, and we'll pass by the archaeological remains of Sacsayhuaman.

As we descend, we'll reach the San Cristóbal viewpoint, home to the Qolqas. We'll stroll through the picturesque streets of one of the most popular neighborhoods in ancient Cusco and visit the Colonial Aqueduct of Sapantiana, whose name derives from the Quechua words “Sanpan,” meaning “unique,” and “Tiana,” roughly translating to “seat”. This aqueduct is located at an altitude of 3,500 meters above the P'ujru River.

This colonial hydraulic structure was primarily built with four-level arches, possibly using stone elements from the sacred Huaca of Sapantiana, located a few meters away. This aqueduct was used to channel and transport water from one peak to another. You'll have the opportunity to take many photos here and enjoy the beautiful view that 7 Borreguitos Street (Seven Little Lambs Street) with its charming alleys.

Our next destination is the Artisan neighborhood of San Blas, also known as “T'oqokachi”, which means “Cave of Salt” in Quechua. This is a typical and picturesque district where you'll find the San Blas Church. Many artisans have their workshops and craft stores here. It's full of cafés, restaurants, museums, and art galleries. We'll walk through its narrow, steep streets lined with old houses built by the Spanish over significant Inca foundations. We'll make a stop at the famous Twelve-Angle Stone for some photos.

Likewise, we'll continue our walk to Plaza de Armas of Cusco, which was known as “Auccay Pata” in the Inca period, meaning “The Most Important Site.” It was a large square about 250 meters long by 120 meters wide, divided into large courts and Inca enclosures. This site marked the origin of Cusco as a city and served as a center for the exchange of products, ideas, traditions, and customs, becoming the political and economic hub before the arrival of the Spanish in 1534.

We'll learn the names of the streets, the portals surrounding Plaza de Armas, and the secret history. Cusco, being the Best Destination in the World and the heart of the city, is a perfect place to spend a relaxing time enjoying coffee or a meal at the numerous restaurants surrounding it. We'll proceed to Plaza Espinar, where we'll observe that the facade of the Convent of La Merced bears holes from bullets that were part of a skirmish between Pierolistas and Caceristas.

Our final stop will be at the local San Pedro Market, where we'll experience the vibrant Cusco culture. This market operates daily and offers a variety of goods, including local crafts, fresh juices, delicious cheeses, large breads, tropical fruits, herbs, spices, coca leaves, and even some “strange and exotic” items. The prices are reasonable, and the quality of the products is exceptional.

You can take as much time as you want to explore the numerous small stalls in this market while purchasing traditional souvenirs.
