What to expect

  1. Plaza de Armas
    15m · Admission ticket included
    Plaza de Armas, Cusco
    We’ll begin in the heart of Cusco, the Plaza de Armas, once the center of the Inca Empire. Here you’ll admire the impressive Cusco Cathedral and the Church of La Compañía de Jesús, two masterpieces of colonial architecture built on top of Inca foundations. I’ll share stories of how the square transformed from an Inca ceremonial center into the vibrant hub it is today, surrounded by arcades, balconies, and lively energy. It’s the perfect place to understand the mix of Inca and Spanish cultures that defines Cusco.
  2. Calle Hatun Rumiyoc
    15m · Admission ticket not included
    We’ll walk along the famous Hatun Rumiyoc Street, home to the Stone of Twelve Angles, one of the finest examples of Inca stonework. You’ll see how these massive stones fit together perfectly without mortar, a technique that still amazes engineers today. I’ll share the stories and legends surrounding this iconic landmark as we explore one of Cusco’s most photographed streets.
  3. Qorikancha
    15m · Admission ticket not included
    Once the most important temple of the Inca Empire, dedicated to the Sun God. Its walls were once covered in sheets of gold, reflecting Cusco’s spiritual and political power. Today, you’ll see how the Spanish built the Convent of Santo Domingo on top of the original Inca foundations, creating a striking contrast between two worlds that shaped Cusco’s history.
  4. Acueducto Colonial De Sapantiana
    20m · Admission ticket not included
    Calle Siete Borreguitos
    We’ll stroll through the charming Siete Borreguitos Street, known for its colorful flowers and traditional balconies. This quiet, picturesque lane offers a more local side of Cusco, perfect for photos and for experiencing the city beyond the main squares.

    Sapantiana Colonial Aqueduct
    Hidden away from the crowds, we’ll visit the Sapantiana Aqueduct, an impressive colonial-era structure built with stone arches. It’s a peaceful spot where history, architecture, and nature meet, showing another layer of Cusco’s past that many visitors miss.
