What you can expect

  • Explore the magic of Cusco on this immersive 2-hour walking tour that blends Inca history, colonial charm, and authentic local experiences.

    Begin at the Plaza de Armas, the ancient heart of the Inca Empire, and learn how it transformed under Spanish rule. Admire the impressive Cathedral and the Church of the Society of Jesus, symbols of faith and power. Continue along Sun Street (Intikijllu) to admire its perfectly carved Inca walls and the historic girls’ convent, then meet a few friendly llamas and alpacas nearby.

    At Plazoleta Nazarenas, surrounded by elegant colonial buildings, you’ll hear stories about Cusco’s noble past. Visit the Palace of Inka Roca and marvel at the famous 12-Angle Stone on Hatun Rumiyoc Street, where you’ll also enjoy a delicious stop at the ChocoMuseo to taste locally made Peruvian chocolate.

    Then head into the artistic San Blas area, known for its cobblestone alleys, artisan workshops, and peaceful charm. Discover the hidden Sapantiana colonial aqueduct and walk through colourful 7 Borreguitos Street, one of Cusco’s most photogenic corners. If the local chicha lady is around, you’ll even get to try a taste of the traditional fermented corn drink loved by locals for generations.

    Your local guide will share fascinating stories, legends, and insider tips that bring Cusco’s living history to life — a perfect introduction to the city’s culture, flavours, and heart.
