Overview
This charming walking tour of Cusco offers history, culture and art. The Main Square is a must, where we will see the colonial architecture that remains intact to this day, but its history is much older since it used as foundations the walls of Inca enclosures.
Also located in the square is the Cathedral. It was built by the Spanish on top of the palace of the Inca Huiracoha. Its interior houses a wonderful collection of colonial art composed of goldsmith pieces and representative canvases of the Cusco School.
Within walking distance is the Koricancha, which during the Tahuantinsuyo was a center of worship to the Sun and on which later the convent of Santo Domingo. Its baroque facade built on the solid Inca walls perfectly summarizes the syncretism of cultures in Cusco.
The route will take us uphill through beautiful narrow streets to San Blas, known for being home to local artists craft workshops. Its the perfect place to shop and take something special of this magical city with us!
